white chocolate icicle cookies

1 c. sugar

3/4 c. butter, softened

1/2 c. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 c. white baking chips, melted and cooled

3 1/2 c. flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

white glaze

2 c. powdered sugar

2 tbsp. milk

1/4 tsp. almond extract, white edible glitter or decorating sugar (optional)

mix sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, egg and melted chips in a large bowl with a spoon until creamy. stir in flour, baking powder and salt. cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until chilled. heat oven to 375 degrees. for each cookie, divide 1 round teaspoon of dough in half. roll each half into a 5 inch rope, tapering the ends. twist the ropes together. place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

to hang icicles, poke a hole in the top of each cookie with a toothpick. bake 5 to 7 minutes or until set and very light brown. cool 2 minutes. remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack. cool completely. brush with white glaze (mix all glaze ingredients until smooth or of desired brushing consistency. add more milk, a few drops at a time if necessary) and sprinkle with glitter or sugar. thread string through the hole in each cookie to hang if desired.
