I was making the cookies for my son's classroom party and in my haste, I used regular sugar for the confectioners' sugar called for in the original recipe. I didn't realize the error until the first batch was baked. I sampled one and noticed that it was not as crunchy as usual but I thought they tasted better so I kept baking.Leah Gallington, Corona, California Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups butter, softened |
2-1/4 cups sugar |
1 egg |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
72 pretzel sticks |
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
blue and red decorating icing |

1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Gradually beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture. Shape dough into 1-in., 5/8-in. and 1/4-in. balls.
