Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutters
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons Butter or Margarine softened
- ⅔ Cups Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Non-Dairy Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2-½ Cups Flour
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
- Decorations as desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper and a light spray of oil.
- Cream Margarine, Sugar and Kosher Salt on high speed until light in texture and very pale yellow.
- Add Egg and mix on low.
- Add Vanilla Extract, Non-dairy Milk, and Baking Powder and mix on low to combine.
- Add Flour and mix on low to combine. Be careful not to over mix, just combine.
- Dust surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar. Roll out the dough to ¼” thickness. Cut shapes out with knife or cookie cutters. Place onto prepared cookie sheet with approximately ½” between cookies. If using sugar as a topping, add to the cookies now.
- Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should not be golden on top or bottom. They should be “just” cooked.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before being transferred to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting or decorating them.
