Question

what is it? a need a new recipe for sugar cookies one i can make little bunnies out of and frost and decorate them for easter.

Answer 1

This is a great recipe for roll out cookies.

Thick Sugar Cookies
2 cups margarine or butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour
3/4 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. milk

Divide dough in half (or sixths). Chill 1 hour. Roll out half of dough 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Use greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
These can be frosted. Makes about 5-6 dozen standard-sized cut-out cookies.

Buttercream Frosting for the sugar cookies
1 1/4 cup Crisco shortening (only use Crisco)
2 lbs. powdered sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp Karo light corn syrup
1 tsp butter flavoring
1 tsp vanilla

Beat 5 to 10 minutes with a power mixer until very smooth. Water down a small amount for a crumb coat if frosting a cake. After 20 minutes (when set), frost with remainder of frosting. When set, use paper towel or typing paper to set desired surface texture. This is fluffy enough to frost easily, yet stiff enough for keeping its shape for decorating.

I have a great drop sugar cookie recipe also. Let me know if you want it.
Happy baking! ~-~
