Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 4 cups flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, then add the sugar, and continue mixing until fluffy. Then add eggs and vanilla and mix. Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. The dough will be fairly wet, so you need to add flour until it’s stiff enough to roll or pat out. I end up adding approximately 1 cup more of flour. Pat or roll your dough on a slightly floured surface and cut shapes with cookie cutter. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for 8 min. Let cool and then ice with royal icing and decorate how you wish!
Royal Icing
- 1 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk (more or less depending on how thick you like it)
