Directions
Roll out Classic Butter – Sugar Cookies (Christmas or Holidays), I am so surprised that this recipe hasn’t been posted yet! I’ve seen this recipe in so many books that it’s a classic This is easiest when made with a stand mixer The recipe doubles nicely, in fact I rarely make a single batch Make sure to use either parchment paper or better yet a Silpat or other silicone baking mat You can roll them out the traditional way without the parchment but the method use is much less mess and results in more tender cookies because no additional flour is added that could toughen them There is no need to wash the mats between batches or change the parchment until you are done If you own a Dobord this is the recipe to use it with These are great glazed or not, decorated or not If you are making 3D cookies or any shape that you don’t want to spread too much you can leave out the baking powder The yield is approximate as it really depends on the size of the cookies , Can you just use colored sugar for the topping instead of icing ?, I definitely wouldn’t make this cookie recipe again I tried it based on the five star reviews, but didn’t care for it They tasted alright not the best sugar cookie I’ve ever made, but they were sugar cookies! I think my biggest issue was having to roll the dough between parchment paper that’s the only way you can roll it out I’ve never made a sugar cookie dough recipe that I’ve had to do that with It was my fault, for not paying closer attention to the directions before selecting this dough to make, so if you’re used to that, then you will probably like this recipe, but for me, it was an extra step and a hassel I also didn’t care for how crumbly the dough was because of that, I don’t feel like I got many cookies out of it I wanted to give a new recipe a try, but will go back to the one I’ve been using

Add the Corn Syrup and Mix Just Until Combined. Mix in the Extract and Food Coloring If You Are Planning on Using Only One Color. If Using Many Colors, Divide Up the Glaze in to as Many Bowls as You Need. Color Each One Using Gel or Paste Food Coloring (mix in a Small Bit at a Time Using a Toothpick Until You Get the Color You Want). Use a Small Pastry Brush to Glaze the Cookies. Paint the Entire Tops of the Cookies With a Thin Layer of Glaze and Place Back on the Cooling Racks to Dry. Depending on Temperature and Humidity It Will Take Between 6 and 12 Hours For the Glaze to Dry Completely. |
