christmas biscuits
i'm baking today, so i thought i'd share my family recipe for christmas cookies
sugar cookies - double batch 4 eggs - well beaten (set aside) 2 cups butter 2 cups sugar cream together butter & sugar add eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla add 5 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder throw in a little salt chill put in wax paper in refrigerator and it's easier to take a small amount out at a time. roll out and cut with cookie cutters bake @ 350 degrees (farenheit - not sure how this translates for european ovens) for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown buttercream frosting 1 pound powdered (confectioners) sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla (i like more) 1/3 cup soft butter mix with food coloring for different colors.. and don't forget to leave some out for santa on christmas eve |
