It was a tradition to make these cookies with my grandmother every Christmas. Now our two daughters help me make them for the holidays. Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
colored sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Using a cookie press fitted with the disk of your choice, press dough 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 11-12 minutes or until set (do not brown). Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. Microwave corn syrup for 6-8 seconds or until thinned. Working with a few cookies at a time, brush corn syrup over the surface and dip into sugar. Reheat corn syrup as necessary. Let stand until set. Yield: 11 dozen.
