| This is just a perfect easy tasting butter cookie, and basic recipe you can use anytime of the year~ I always make Palm Tree's for living in Florida, of course my NY State State of mind style and the rest of the world's style tree's (smile), just a little Tropical flair there... 2 cups all-purpose flour pinch of salt 1 cup butter, room temperature 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Mix all together and refrigerate overnight or for at least one hour. Roll out cut into shapes of your choice and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 for 8 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. For those that love them frosted: 2 1/2 cups of confectionery sugar food coloring 1/4 cup of water 1/3 cup of white Crisco shortening 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of dry powdered milk Beat until smooth, add more water if too stiff, needs to spread easily. Separate into bowls coordinate food coloring and flavoring in each bowl . Frost cookies let dry for about an hour |
