My kids are always in the kitchen and the more the merrier! Christmas is such a fun time for kids to cook and bake. My daughter and her friends had a ball making brownies recently. This weekend we will make cookies! Here's my daughter's favorite cookie recipe:
Cookies
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup margarine
- 3 tablespoons cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven on convection bake to 350 degrees F. (If using a standard oven, preheat to 375 degrees F.) Cream sugar and margarine together in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Add cream or milk, vanilla and egg. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Roll out as desired and bake on un-greased cookie sheets for 8 minutes. (Baking time will be about 10 minutes in a standard oven.) Cool completely before glazing.
Glaze
- 3 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Food coloring
Stir confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, water and almond extract together in a bowl. Divide among pie plates or shallow baking dishes and add food coloring as desired. Stir well. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze and place, glaze-side up on racks. Allow the glaze to dry completely. Store cookies in an airtight container.
