This is a wonderful sugar cookie recipe that makes great cutouts for that special holiday treat. They are crispy on the outside and soft and melty on the inside. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temp. |
2 large egg yolks |
1 tsp. vanilla |
1 tbl. orange liquor or congac |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder |
3/4 cup sugar |
parchment paper |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar on medium speed with mixer. Add egg yolks and beat until fluffy. Blend in vanilla and liquor. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, add to sugar mixture. DO NOT OVER BEAT! Blending with hands is best. Split dough in two portions and pat down into a 1 inch disc shape. Wrap in plastic and refridgerate at least one hour. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Bake in a 350 degree oven until VERY light brown on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Decorate with royal icing (posted) or frosting.
