List of Ingredients
18 - Frosted Spice Cutouts
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup milk
Frosting:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water
Red and green paste food coloring, optional
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, oil and sugar. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Beat in milk. Divide dough in half. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight (dough will be soft). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks. For frosting, beat confectioners' sugar and water in a mixing bowl. Add food coloring if desired. Frost cooled cookies.
Yield: about 4 dozen.
