4th of July Cookies
4th of July Star Cookies - Like my mamma used to make!
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups sifted flour
- Red, white and blue pearlized sprinkles and nonpareils for garnish
- Blue and red sanding sugar (optional)
- Vanilla frosting (we used Betty Crockers!)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixer add the sugar and the butter. Mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extracts and mix to incorporate. Sift together the baking powder and the flour. Add the flour mixture. Mix until combined. You can use a star cookie cutter or any shape! Cut out your cookies and place on a ungreased baking pan. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until firm, but not yet browning. Allow to cool and cover in vanilla frosting. Immediately place the sprinkles on your cookie and allow to dry!
