Sugar Cut Outs
2 C butter

Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extract. Mix well - add the baking powder. Beat four in 1 cup at a time. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Roll 1/4" on lightly floured surface. Cut in desired shapes. Bake 350 for 8-10 min.
I use meringue powder to make royal icing.

I wouldn't argue with you on that!
DeleteThey are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks you!
DeleteNo doubt you've made great memories through the years in the kitchen making these cheerful cookies!
ReplyDeleteWe have. Even did swim suits on snowmen. Ahaha
Delete(hugs) I have! It's my favorite little area of my house - my "working counter" area!
ReplyDeleteYummy. Frosted cutouts have always been a favorite of mine but I've not made them in years. Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteWe make them every Christmas. I don't know why not during other times of the year? They are so good.
