GG stands for Great Grandmother and these cookies have been handed down from generation to generation in our family. As a rule, they are only made at Christmas, but upon an occasion they have been made for Easter too. (Cookie yield & baking time actually depends on what size cookie cutters are used). Decorating the cookies is half the fun and can get quite involved. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup sugar |
3 egg yolks |
3 egg whites |
2 1/2 cups flour (sifted) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
various colored sugar sprinkle |
Directions:
1. Cream butter.
2. Gradually beat in sugar.
3. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing with butter/sugar mixture.
4. Add flour gradually, mixing well.
5. Add vanilla.
6. Refrigerate dough until chilled.
7. Roll out 4 piece of dough with enough flour so as dough does not stick to rolling pin or rolling surface.
8. Cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
9. Refrigerate extra dough and remove from refrigeration as used.
10. Paint each cookie with egg whites and then decorate with colored sugar.
11. Bake at 350° F for 10 - 12 minutes.
12. Enjoy.
