Trying to merge American, Dutch and Austrian traditions for christmas we ended up with a slightly strange but oddly cohesive christmas dinner. To boost the jolly feeling my sister in law made sugar cookies – and everybody could decorate their own! Fitting to the season we had dinosaur, hippo, dolphin and lobster cookie cutters. We had a little cookie-decoration-competition going on – and no – we don’t have and kids in our family that are younger than 28! Pictured above is the proud winner!
SUGAR COOKIES
_ sift flour, baking powder and salt together
_ knead butter and sugar until creamy
_ add egg and milk
_ gradually add the flour mixture
_ form a smooth dough
_ divide into two pieces and wrap in cling foil
_ refrigerate for a minimum of two hours
_ preheat oven to 180°C [375°F]
_ sprinkle surface with powdered sugar
_ roll out dough 6mm thick
_ cut out desired shapes
_ place cookies onto a baking sheet [min 1.5 cm apart]
_ bake for 7-9 minutes [until they turn brown around the edges]
_ cool 2 minutes before taking them of the sheet
_ glaze with frosting [we just used one egg white with a squeeze of lemon juice and plenty of powdered sugar]
_ decorate with colored frosting and plenty of sprinkles :)
[cookies store well in an air tight container for up to one week]
