My youngest granddaughter will be 2 soon. It is her turn for me to send her some birthday cookies. She is such a girly-girl, I thought she might get a kick out of some Pinkalicious cookies. I used my tried and true sugar cookie recipe and colored it pink. Then decorated the cookie like the cupcakes in the Pinkalicious books. I hope they light up her beautiful eyes!
Sugar Roll Out Cookies
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Cream sugar and butter. Mix in egg and flavorings. Stir dry ingredients together, blend into sugar mixture. Form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
Heat oven 375 degrees F. Using half the dough and roll out 1/4" thick. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
Sugar Cookie Icing
1 cup confectioner sugar
2 tsp. milk
2 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. almond extract
assorted food color
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. (It was at a good consistency to pipe at this point)
Divide into separate bowls and add food colorings to each to desired intensity.
