SHORTBREAD SUGAR COOKIES WITH ICING RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Shortbread Sugar Cookies With Icing Recipe - Food.com image

I love shortbread and I like sugar cookies but a cookie that is both...that's heaven! This is the kind of icing that "dries" and makes almost like a candy shell on the cookie. When the icing is dry, store in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also keep the unbaked dough in the fridge for up to a week...but who can resist making these that long? You have to use butter to get the right taste. Sometimes just for a different flavor I add a teaspoon or two of almond extract.

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 4-5 dozen cookies, 48-60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
food coloring, if desired

Steps:

  • Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or generously spray with non stick spray.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Add slowly to butter mixture on low speed. Do not overbeat! Only mix until flour is incorporated.
  • Form dough into big ball and place in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Roll out chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter or you can use a pizza cutter and make squares or rectangles. Another option is to roll into a log and cut 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Using a spatula, transfer to cookie sheets leaving about 1/2 inch between cookies.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet and then transfer to cooling rack.
  • When cookies are cool, whisk together the icing ingredients and either dip the cookies or spread on cookies. You can smooth the icing with the back of a spoon.
  • These are so good -- you should really double the recipe!

The dough must be chilled for at least three hours and up to two days. The cookies can be prepared up to one week ahead, stored in an airtight container at room temperature. I had to bake many batches to finally accomplish the perfect gingerbread cookie. When the dough is rolled thin, it will bake crisp and almost cracker-like. Yet, when rolled thick (my preference), the cookies turn out plump and moist. In either case, the flavor will be complex and almost hot-spicy.
