These cookies melt in your mouth...even when they're not frosted, writes Sharon Pickerd from her home in Sparta, Michigan. The recipe was handed down years ago from a cousin who tasted the golden treats at a children's fund-raiser. Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened |
1-3/4 cups sugar |
1 egg yolk |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
prepared vanilla frosting |
food coloring and decorating sprinkles, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Gradually add flour and mix well.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass dipped in flour.Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. Tint frosting with food coloring if desired. Frost cookies. Decorate as desired. Yield: 4-1/2 dozen.
