Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe
Roll them thick for cake-like cookies!
Mix:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
Add:
3 beaten eggs (or egg substitute)
1 tsp. vanilla
Sift and mix with sugar mixture:
3 cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
Roll dough on lightly floured surface and cut with a simple cookie cutter. I cut these cookies thick, about 1/2 inch. *This is a really soft dough, try not to add too much flour so your cookies will stay soft and moist.
Bake @ 425 for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Basic Frosting Recipe
Simple and delicious!
1/3 c. butter
3 c. powdered sugar
3 tbsp. cream or milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Beat together all ingredients until smooth.
*You can also add a little extra milk or cream to the recipe to thin it down into a glaze. This makes frosting really easy! Just turn the cookies upside down and dip in the glaze and let it roll down the sides or set cookies on a cooking rack and drizzle the glaze over the top. (Make sure you allow plenty of time for the glaze to dry before stacking.)
Royal Icing Recipes
Royal icing has stiff consistency and dries hard!
- Royal Icing Recipe With Picture - Joyofbaking.com
- Royal Icing was traditionally used to frost Wedding and Christmas cakes. It consists of powdered sugar (icing or confectioners), egg whites or meringue powder, and water. (If you are worried about salmonella use the recipe that contains meringue powder, not raw egg whites.)
- Royal Icing Recipe - Wilton.com
- Make flowers, rosettes and other decorations in advance using our hard-drying stiff consistency Royal Icing.

- I just had some sugar cookies for the first time in years. They were gluten free, so ok for my diet. :) not as good as those ones at the mall (or in your pictures), but not bad!
