THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

VALENTINE RICH ROLLED COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Beat in egg and flavoring.
• Combine and add flour and salt.
• Chill dough 3-4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Roll thinly and cut.
• Bake 5-7 minutes, (this is because I roll them very thin,you might want to cook them longer if you don't roll them thin -- see other peoples notes).
• Ice with either Almond or Royal Icing.
• The Almond Icing is a thin icing that you can "paint" on the cookies. I actually use paint brushes, and have fun coloring the icing.
• The Royal Icing dries hard. It can be used to "glue" tails back on kittens (cookies) and trunks on elephants. It also holds the cookies together better for shipping. I use a small metal spatula for spreading this, and use a lot of sprinkles and other adornments with this icing.
• The amounts of sugar and liquid are flexible to your own preferred consistency.

RICH ROLL COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and extract. Combine and add flour and salt.
• Wrap dough well and chill or freeze until you are able to handle it easily. Can also make day ahead and place in fridge wrapped in plastic wrap.
• To bake: Preheat oven to 350. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters. Place on either a greased cookie sheet or one lined with a silpat liner or parchment paper. Bake 8-10 minutes for thin cookies or 15 minutes+ for thick cookies or cookies on a stick. When they are lightly browned, they are ready. Cool on pan for 1-2 minutes, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before decorating. Use your favorite icing recipe.
