My first sugar cookies

Posted on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 by admin  |  6 Comments »

I baked these sugar cookies for my niece’s 1 month old baby shower.

I only used three icing colors

I think with practice I will be able to get more straight lines.

Each cookie was wrapped like this

At the Birthday Party ….

My adorable niece *muacks*

Here’s the recipe that I used

Vanilla Sugar Cookies

  • 200 grams of caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs.
  • 1 tsp of vanilla.
  • 450 grams of all-purpose flour, sifted.
  • 200 grams of unsalted butter, diced.
  • Extra flour for kneading and rolling.
  1. In a bowl, mix sugar, vanilla and egg. Add the flour and the butter and keep mixing just until the dough comes together.
  2. Knead the dough lightly by hand on your flour dusted kitchen counter and wrap it well in cling film and put it in a plastic bag. Chill the dough for 2 hours.
  3. Preheat oven 170C.
  4. Roll the dough on a sheet of parchment paper lightly dusted with flour.
  5. Place the baking tray in the middle of the oven.
  6. Bake cookies for 15-20 mins or till they are light golden brown.

Sugar Cookie Icing

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • Assorted food coloring
  1. In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
  2. Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush.
