3 of the grandbabies were over last weekend and they always want to cook with grandma. We made sugar cookies and decorated them with purple icing and sprinkles!
Needless to say, they are all gone! We made very small bite-sized versions for little hands. What fun!
Sugar Cookies
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. hazelnut extract (or vanilla)
1 cup real butter, softened
Mix the dry ingredients above. Cream sugar and butter together with extract. Add into the dry ingredients and mix well. Using your hands, form into small balls and gently press down with your fingertips or the back of a spoon. Place onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms start to brown.
Immediately spread with icing (while hot)
Purple Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. hazelnut extract
1 drop blue food coloring
2 drops red food coloring
Mix well. Add water 1/2 tsp. at a time until the frosting is at a thick, but not too thick consistency. Spread on cookies immediately after removing from oven to a cooking rack and top with sprinkles. Sprinkles must be added while the frosting is hot or they will roll off!
Enjoy!
