Eagle Brand® Cut-Out Cookies




Source of Recipe


Eagle Brand®


List of Ingredients




3 1/2 cups unsifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 2 teaspoons almond extract or lemon extract


Recipe



Combine flour, baking powder and salt. With mixer on low speed, beat Eagle Brand®, butter, eggs and vanilla in large bowl until mixed. Beat at medium speed for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined. (If using portable mixer, use wooden spoon to stir in last portion of flour mixture.) Divide dough into thirds. Wrap and chill dough about 2 hours or until easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 350º. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough, one portion at a time, to 1/8-inch thickness; cut with floured cookie cutters. Reroll as necessary to use all dough. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until very lightly browned around the edges (do not overbake). Cool. Store loosely covered at room temperature. Glaze and decorate as desired.




Notes: Powdered Sugar Glaze: Combine 2 cups sifted powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, almond extract or lemon extract. Stir in enough milk (about 2 tablespoons) to make glaze consistency. Tint with food coloring if desired.
