    Source of Recipe


    Southern Living

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup Butter or margarine, softened
    1 cup Shortening
    2 1/2 cups Sifted powdered sugar
    6 Hard-cooked egg yolks- mashed
    2 ts Baking soda
    2 ts Cream of tartar
    1 tb Vanilla extract
    5 cups All-purpose flour
    Paste food coloring =red/green/yellow

    Recipe



    Cream butter and shortening; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add egg yolks, soda, cream of tartar, and vanilla, beating well. Gradually add flour, mixing well. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Color one portion red, one yellow, one green, and leave remaining dough plain. Wrap each separately in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour. Hand shape cookies into desired designs, or roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut with 2-1/2-inch cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350ºF for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheets 1 to 2 minutes; remove to wire racks and cool completely Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen.

    NOTE: You might label our Edible Craft Dough Cookies "For Kids Only"--the dough looks and shapes remarkably like the colored craft dough that children often play with, but it's totally edible. Children can hand shape the dough much like they do craft dough, or they can roll and cut it with cookie cutters.
