Dec 20th “Christmas Cookie Recipe!”

If you like cookies – here is the recipe for a delicious Christmas Cookie.

Ingredients

1 cup soft butter 2 ¼ cup flour

½ cup confectioner’s sugar ¼ tsp. salt

1 Cup confectioner’s sugar for rolling cookies in

1 tsp. Vanilla ¾ cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Beat butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the dry ingredients together – stir

Into butter mixture just until blended – – Mix in walnuts – Chill batter

for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees — Roll batter into one-inch balls and place on an

ungreased baking sheet. – – Bake 10-12 minutes.

Have your powder sugar in a bowl – I use two slotted spoons to take hot cookies

from – the hot cookie sheet and roll in the powder sugar – while hot – doing two hot cookies at a time – and put on serving dish –

Cool! – Depending on when you will serve cookies – you might want to roll cookies…

In the powder sugar – again?

While making the “Christmas Cookies” was also making a cake – and then went to make my own “Butter Cream Frosting” and I did not have “Whipping Cream” – – so I tried something different and everybody had to have seconds on the cake just because the icing was so good! The general recipe for icing that I use calls for:

1 cup butter and I whip that till it is nice and light and creamy – – then I add 2 cups of powder sugar – continue whipping till creamy – and adding almost 2 tablespoons vanilla – and for some the final ingredient – 3 tablespoons whipping cream – and since I did not have – went to the freezer and put 3 tablespoons of “COOL WHIP” and continue a minute – spread that on the cake and decorated to looked like a beautiful “Christmas Wreath” – with some colorful sprinkles on top – So far, best cake ever!
