Ingredients
Scale
1 batch Sugar Cookie Dough, recipe above
Instructions
- Divide the dough into workable sized balls. Work with one ball of dough at a time – return rest of dough to refrigerator.
- Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4-1/2″ thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Any excess dough can be re-rolled, refrigerated, and cut.
- Bake at 350° until the edges of the cookies are a light golden, 10 – 15 minutes. (Note: If making cookies into ornaments, place a small hole with a toothpick or like item inside edge of cookie for hanging ribbon while cookie is still hot.)
- Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
- For decorating: Whisk confectioners’ sugar with just enough milk to make a thick icing. Transfer icing to a small plastic bag. Press the icing into a corner of the bag and snip off the corner with scissors to make a small opening. Gently press the icing onto the cookie to make a simple pattern. Decorate as desired. Set aside for about 1 hour to let the icing harden.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Notes
With a little imagination, the cookies can be hung up for decorations or given as gifts – Either way they are fun and taste great, too!
