Ingredients

³/₄ cup sugar

²/₃ cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

¹/₄ cup light corn syrup

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

¹/₄ cup unsweetened cocoa

¹/₂ teaspoon baking powder

¹/₂ teaspoon baking soda

Frosting

¹/₃ cup all-purpose flour

¹/₃ cup Land O Lakes® Butter, very soft

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 ¹/₂ teaspoons hot water

Sugar or decorator sugars

How to make

STEP 1

Combine sugar, 2/3 cup butter, corn syrup, egg and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add all remaining cookie ingredients; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2

Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4

Combine all frosting ingredients in bowl until smooth. Place frosting in plastic resealable food bag. (For best results, place only half of frosting in bag at a time.) Cut very small tip from one corner or fill pastry bag with #3 writing tip.
STEP 5

Roll out dough, one half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated) on lightly floured surface, to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters (for example, snowflake, circle, diamond, star, etc.). Place 1-inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
STEP 6

Decorate cookies with frosting to create snowflake designs. Sprinkle with sugar.
STEP 7

Bake 5-8 minutes or until set. If desired, sprinkle with sugar again while still warm. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack.

Tip #1

- For best results, use floured pastry cloth and stockinette-covered rolling pin.

Tip #2

- If frosting is too thick stir in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon hot water; if too thin, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons flour.

Tip #3

- To make snowflake ornaments: Carefully punch hole in top of baked cookies with drinking straw immediately after they come out of the oven. Cool; thread 1/8-inch ribbon through hole and tie into bow.
