My aunt shared this recipe with me many years ago. Family and friends look for these tasty edible bows on my cookie trays each Christmas.Diana Mangelsen, Frederic, Wisconsin Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
red and green colored sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Combine egg and cream; gradually beat into crumb mixture until a ball forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
2. Divide dough into three portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with colored sugar. Cut into 8-in.-long x 1/4-in.-wide strips. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; form into bows.
