christmas-cookie

Join and stir 1.5 cups of melted butter

2 cups of sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla

4 eggs

Mix 5 flour cups,

2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon baking powder

Slowly add these to first ingredients list

Knead dough and split it into 3 pieces leaving it to cool down for 45 mins - 1 hour.

Roll pastry 1/4-1/4 inch thick on a table (strew it and your hands with flour). Use cookie cutters to make desired cookie form, put baking pan with cookies into oven (must be about 400 F degrees) and take them out in 7-8 minutes.

Cookies must get slightly brown-colored.

Decoration

You will need food coloring, spinkles, cinnamon candies, colored sugar - anything else you desire to add to make ice sugar cookies look festive and colorful.

First make icing by mixing sugar with milk (take 1 cup of milk and add sugar to your liking), add food coloring till you get bright color and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.

Put icing onto cookies and decorate with cinnamon, colored sugar, colored coconut and spinkles.

It will take about 30 mins for icing to set.
