My cousins and I love this family homestead recipe. I finally have this recipe and it is too good not to share. These cookies are great on their own without icing! But, if you have a sweet tooth, or small children, then these are even sweeter iced and decorated. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. - preheat oven to 375' F.
2. - cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. - add yolks and vanilla
4. - in a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.
5. - add flour mix to creamed mixture, do not overmix.
6. - if the dough is too warm, then wrap in plastic and place in fridge for one hour.
7. - roll out 1/4 and cut into shapes.
8. - transfer cut cookies to cookie sheet (I use parchment paper).
9. - bake for 10 - 12 minutes, watch as they brown quickly.
10. - remove from oven, and immediately transfer to a wire rack with a spatula.
11. - once cool, decorate as desired.
