SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE
These cookies can be made without refrigerating if you are in a hurry. Just prepare the cookie dough as directed, (it will be crumbly) and then roll the cookie dough into balls the size of walnuts. Flatten the cookie dough with the palms of your hands, smooth out the edges and brush each cookie lightly with egg white. Add sprinkles if you wish at this time or allow the cookies to cool down and then frost them with your favorite frosting. This recipe will yield approximately 30 cookies. 1 cup of softened margarine 2 cups of powdered sugar 1 egg � teaspoon of lemon flavoring 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring 3 cups of all-purpose flour � teaspoon of salt In a large bowl add the 1-cup of margarine and 2-cups of powdered sugar. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. In a separate little bowl, add the 1 egg, � teaspoon of lemon flavoring, 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and beat with a fork or wire Wisk until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the margarine and sugar mixture and blend these ingredients together very well. Add the 3-cups of flour and the � teaspoon of salt to the above ingredients and mix all of the ingredients together until thoroughly blended together. Divide the cookie dough into two sections and wrap each section with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled. (Can be left in the refrigerator over night). Remove dough from the refrigerator, remove plastic wrap and place the cookie dough on a lightly floured working surface. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll cookie dough out with a rolling pin to approximately 1/8-inch thickness. (You can use a lightly floured strong plastic drinking glass if you do not have a rolling pin) Use your favorite cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. (If you do not have cookie cutters, you can use the rim of a glass or cut the cookie shapes out with a knife). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Remove the cookies quickly from the cookie sheet onto a cooling rack. Serve the cookies plain or sprinkle with a little powdered sugar, or decorate the cookies with your favorite frosting. ***Note; If you are wanting to decorate the cookies with colored decorating sugar crystals, very lightly brush the top of the cookies before baking, with egg white and then sprinkle your colored sugar crystals on top of the cookies or dip the cookies into a bag or bowl of colored sugar crystals.
