This recipe came with a shamrock cookie cutter. These are made without baking powder or soda. A crispy cookie, but very tasty. Try them. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine |
2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring |
2 eggs, beaten |
4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 cups powdered sugar |
1/3 cup softened margarine or 1/3 cup butter |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
food coloring |
Directions:
1. Cookie dough: Combine flour and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix margarine, 1 cup sugar and vanilla. Add remaining sugar and eggs, and beat. Continue to beat on low speed while slowly pouring in flour mixture. Chill thoroughly. Roll dough to 1/8 -1/4 inch thickness, cutting into desired shapes. Place on cookie sheets and bake 8 - 10 minutes in oven preheated to 400 deg F. These brown on the edges, so watch not to burn, it may take less the 8 minutes. Let cookies cool before decorating.
2. Icing: Blend margarine and sugar. Add milk and vanilla mixing until smooth. Add food coloring as desired. After decorating allow icing to set before stacking cookies. This recipe may yield 6 dozen cookies, this depends on the size of your cutters. Preparation time does not include the chilling time.
