Learn How it Works...
Cookie
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg (yolk only)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Royal Icing
1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon meringue powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons warm (105-115ºF) water
Food color, as desired
Decorator sugars and/or candies, if desired
STEP 1
Combine granulated sugar and butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add honey and egg yolk; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking powder; beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, just until mixed.
STEP 2
Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 4
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Place, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets.
STEP 5
Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 6
Combine all icing ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed until moistened. Beat at medium speed 2-4 minutes or until thickened and glossy. (If too thick, add additional tablespoon hot water.) Cover bowl with damp paper towel or plastic food wrap until ready to use.
STEP 7
Divide icing into bowls; tint each with desired food color. Frost and decorate cookies as desired.
Traditional cookie cutters include Menorah, Dreidel and Star of David.
