Receta Filled Holiday Sugar Cookies
It took me awhile to get this posted. I made these cookies about a month ago for Valentine's Day and gave them away for gifts to my children and granddaughters. Everyone loved them. :)
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- colored sprinkles
Directions
1. Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Add milk, vanilla and eggs.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in colored sprinkles for a more festive look. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to make rolling easier.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut out desired shapes.
5. Place 2" apart on ungreased or parchment lined baking sheet. Leave plain to frost after baking or sprinkle with colored sugar.6. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: depending on the size of your cutter about 4 dozen. I used two cookies and filled them with Italian Buttercream

Then I frosted them and sprinkled a little colored sugar on them just to make them look festive. Yummy!
