List of Ingredients




1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup shortening (or margarine)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
granulated sugar, colored if desired

Sugar Cookie Icing
(Optional)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 drops red food coloring



Recipe




Beat butter and shortening thoroughly with an electric mixer or pastry cutter. Add sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt and mix until well combined. Beat in egg and vanilla then as much flour as you can with the electric mixer. Stir in the remaining flour. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour; Preheat oven to 375 degrees F Split the dough in 1/2 and roll one half at a time. Cut out with appropriately shaped cookie cutters. Keep the piece you aren't using in the fridge. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for about 7 to 8 minutes, until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned (don't over cook).
Makes 36 cookies.

Icing
(Optional)
In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Add the corn syrup and almond extract; mix well. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup. Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to desired intensity. Dip cookies or paint them with a brush.
