Answer 1

Sugar Cut-Out Cookies

My first cooking memory is of cutting these cookies out with my mother. If you have children, do take some time this holiday to bake some with them and make a memory that will last a lifetime. These cookies are always a hit with kids of all ages, and the decorated cut-outs are a lovely addition to a holiday sweet platter.

makes about 5 dozen depending upon the size of your cutters

3 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup superfine granulated cane sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Have all ingredients at room temperature. Mix flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then the dry ingredients. Incorporate well.

2. Chill the dough. Break off sections of dough and roll fairly thin. Be sure to flour the table or board you are working on very well so your dough will not stick. Also, be sure to flour your rolling pin.

3. Cut out the cookies and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the cookies are very lightly browned and crispy. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

4. You may decorate the cookies before baking with jimmies or red or green sugar. Or, after baking, you may wish to frost the cookies with a thin coating of white milk frosting, and paint them with food coloring.

Frosting

2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
at least 1/4 cup milk, and enough to make a smooth, spreadable frosting

Answer 2

How old are the kids? You might want to buy a mix and just add a few ingredients. If you want to do the whole thing:

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon milk
1-2 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (I use colored sugars)

Heat oven to 375º.
In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar, butter, oil, milk, almond (or vanilla) extract and egg until light and fluffy.
Stir in flour, baking powder and salt; blend well.
Spread evenly in ungreased 15x10 baking pan; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake at 375º for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool 5 minutes.
Cut into squares.

Answer 6

this one is great with little kids:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup softened butter (not melted)
3 T sugar

squish all this together with your hands till it's smooth. You can squish in 1/2 cup of coconut or nuts, if you like. shape into little balls about the size of a walnut. bake on a greased cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 350. These cookies don't really spread much, and they don't brown much; but they're a quick, easy, sweet treat to make with kids.
