Re: HELP butter cookie recipe needed
Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting Ingredients:
3 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Combine 1 cup butter, sugar and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add orange juice and vanilla; mix well. Reduce speed to low; add flour and baking powder. Beat until well mixed.
Divide dough into thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 to 3 hours).
Heat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
Combine powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost and decorate cooled cookies as desired.
Recipe Tip If you use a 4 to 5-inch cookie cutter, recipe will yield approximately 2 dozen cookies.
