Sugar Cookies & Hardening Icing

Sorry I haven't posted in about a month. But this lactose free sugar cookie recipe with this awesome hardening frosting is delicious!

First, lets do the sugar cookies. Which are delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups flour ( I used organic whole wheat flour, so mine are brown )
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup  butter ( 16 tablespoons )
• 1/2 cup corn sugar + 1/2 cup sugar ( or just 1 cup sugar)
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 tablespoon lactose free milk ( milk )
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then cream together the sugar(s) and butter. Add the egg and milk to the creamed sugar and butter. Put your mixer on low and slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture. It should be doughy when your done mixing.

Divide your dough in half. Put them into a bowls and cover (I used a towel ). Put it in your refrigerator and let it sit there for 2 hours.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Take one ball of dough from fridge at a time. Sprinkle flour on your surface and roll out dough to about 1/4 inch. You can cut out any shape you want. I used an egg shaped cookie cutter for Easter.

Place cut out cookies onto pan about an inch apart. Bake for about 7-9 minutes. Let cool and ice!

Now lets make this delicious also lactose free hardening icing! This is so nice because you can stack them and they wont get messed up. Now lets start making them.

INGREDEINTS:

• 1 cup powder sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 2 teaspoons light corn syrup

In a bowl stir the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Add light corn syrup and stir again until glossy. Add food coloring as needed.

Delicious frosting. It's awesome because it hardens! I use this frosting for sugar cookies and it tastes so good.
