Price Each: $74.24USD

Quantity 

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg or 2 egg yolks, well beaten
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unsifted Pillsbury Unbleached or King Arthur Unbleached Flour*
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

1. Cream butter.
2. Beat in sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla.
3. Sift together dry ingredients, add to first mixture.
4. Add just enough flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll out (about 1/4 cup). Be careful not to add too much flour or cookies will be hard and tough.
5. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Cut with holiday shaped cookie cutters.
7. Arrange on cookie sheet.
8. Sprinle each cookie with Cake Mate Sprinkles.
9. Bake for 5 - 8 mins or until delicately brown.


* Use unbleached flour for best flavor. Unbleached flour is bright white, it's just more time consuming to make. Flour will whiten naturally after milling. Since the natural whitening takes time (about 6 months), many producers speed up the process using chemicals. That process and chemical addition can alter the taste of foods made from bleached flour.
