Painted Sugar Cookies
By Marnie Pehrson
This is a fun recipe one for the kids that my mother-in-law gave me. You
make sugar cookies and then paint them with a evaporated milk-food
coloring *paint.* Then you frost them with a powdered-sugar glaze.
Colorful and fun!
Cream the following ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add to mixture:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
Refrigerate dough for 1-2 hours
Half the dough and roll out one half on floured surface. Leave remainder
in refrigerator. Use holiday cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Create
the paint for the cookies by mixing about 2 tablespoons of evaporated
milk with food coloring. Use reds, greens, yellows, etc... and mix with
evaporated milk to make the *paint* for the cookies. Use small paint
brushes to paint the cookies. Bake cookies on lightly greased cookie
sheet for 8-9 minutes at 350 degrees.
Mix powdered sugar and water to make a thin glaze. Brush the glaze over
the cookies while they are still warm. Remove the cookies from the
cookie sheet before they cool, or they will stick.
