Cropping up from a recipe shared by Heather Thays of Niles, Michigan is a fresh-picked idea for sugar cookies. Just cut the dough into strawberry shapes like our kitchen staff did. Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup sweetened condensed milk |
2 tablespoons water |
red and green colored sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in two eggs and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Cover and refrigerate overnight. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a strawberry or other fruit-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. In a bowl, beat the water and remaining eggs. Brush over cookies; sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 7 dozen (3-inch) cookies.
