let the cookie crumble

Okay so if you are wanting to make some awesome sugar cookies that you can actually frost and set on top of each other without it messing up the frosting try these ones. I love these cookies and they are so yummy, fun to make, and pretty easy. You can’t beat sugar cookies when you can cut out any shape you want with a cookie cutter and walla you have a pumpkin, ghost, or even a bat that look good.  The sugar cookie recipe is from Colby's mom and the frosting is from a Pampered Chef friend of mine, Rachael, thanks girls for the yummy recipes.

Sugar Cookies

1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
4 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 TBLS. milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Add rest of ingredients. Roll on floured surface and cut out. Dough may be chilled before rolling. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 8 minutes.

Sugar Cookie Frosting

(This will set up so the cookies can touch with out messing up the frosting)
2 1/2 Cup of Powder Sugar
1/4 Cup water
4 tsp. meringue powder
1/4 Cup light corn syrup

Beat Powder sugar, water, and meringue powder on low until combined then beat on high 4 min. (or so) until soft peaks form. Add light corn syrup and beat 1 more minute. Then add food coloring. Spread on cookies and let cookies sit out overnight and enjoy.
