List of Ingredients




1 cup butter or margarine*, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons McCormick® Cream of Tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Glaze:
3 to 4 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
McCormick® Assorted Food Colors & Egg Dye

Recipe



Cream butter for 30 seconds in a large mixer bowl. Blend in sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in as much of the flour as possible with mixer. Use a wooden spoon to stir in any remaining flour.

2. Cover and chill 1 hour or until dough is firm. Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly brown. Transfer to wire rack; let cool. Decorate with colored glaze as desired. Allow glaze to set up or dry before storing in airtight container.

4. To prepare the glaze: Combine milk and vanilla extract; stir in confectioners' sugar. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding a bit more water to thin or more confectioners' sugar to stiffen. Blend in 3 to 4 drops food color until evenly distributed and glaze is smooth. If desired, divide the icing among separate small bowls and tint each one with a different color by stirring in 1 to 2 drops food color.

*Use regular, full fat butter or margarine for best results
