    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: Maddymoo

    List of Ingredients




    Sugar Cookie Dough:

    4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1 lb, 8 oz unsalted butter, softened
    3 eggs
    1 TBSP vanilla extract
    7 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    1 TBSP baking soda
    1 TBSP cream of tartar

    Preheat oven to 375F

    Recipe



    1. Cream the powdered sugar and butter for at least 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and scrape down the bowl after each egg. Add vanilla and mix for 2 more minutes.

    2. Mix in the flour, baking soda and cream of tartar while mixer is on slow speed. Mix till you have a smooth dough. Chill for at least 4 hours before rolling out.

    3. Roll out dough and cut using whatever shapes you would like(doesn’t really matter once you throw icing on them, it’s anyone’s guess as to what they are)

    *This recipe has been passed around my family for awhile and it has never said how many cookies it will make. I got 4 very large balls of dough out of this batch. And about 180 farm animals.

    Icing for “Circus Cookies”

    2 cups powdered sugar

    1/4 cup milk

    1 TBSP vanilla

    pink food coloring

    Whisk the sugar, milk and vanilla together until smooth. Set 1/2 of the icing to the side to remain white. Add pink food coloring to the second half of icing.

    To make the ‘Circus” Animals:

    Dip on side of cookie into icing. Before icing sets up sprinkle on multi-colored decoration balls. Let sit for about an hour to set up.
