FROSTED HOLIDAY SUGAR COOKIES
Whether you're making Santas or dreidls, shamrocks or bunnies, this foolproof cookie and royal icing recipe is the only one you need. Don't skip chilling the dough after rolling it out. It really helps the cookies keep their shape while baking. And if you'd like to frost the cookies very generously, consider doubling the icing amounts below.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla, then beat in egg.
- Add flour mixture and beat until just combined. Divide the dough in half, pat into flat rectangles, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Divide each dough parcel in half, and roll out to 1/8-inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough. Chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line four cookie sheets with parchment paper, sprinkling with a little flour if the dough seems sticky. Cut out shapes from the rolled and chilled dough and place on prepared sheets 1-inch apart. Bake until golden around the edges, 8 to 13 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the royal icing: in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Whisk until stiff and glossy.
- To tint the frosting, divide into small bowls. Cover the ones you aren't using with plastic wrap; the frosting dries out very quickly. Use a rubber spatula to stir in desired food coloring. Though not necessary, it makes life easier if you make two versions of each color - one that is thick to pipe the outline on the cookie, and one that is thinned out slightly with a little water to flood the outline. Transfer frosting to piping bags fitted with very small round tips (sizes 1 to 2 work best).
- Pipe frosting onto cooled cookies and let set, at least 2 hours. Or use a pastry of paint brush to decorate cookies with the frosting.

PERFECT HOLIDAY SUGAR COOKIES
This sensational sugar cookie is one that I found in "Taste of Home". The combination of extracts and the addition of cream cheese make them the tastiest and tenderest of treats! I was always a "cookie klutz" when it came to cut-out cookies, but with a few chef tricks up my sleeve and a darn good recipe, I made some cookies last Christmas that looked and tasted as if they came from the bakery. The frosting is from my Good Housekeeping cookbook. The recipe may seem long but that's because I've added some notes along the way. They're really very easy to make! I'll definitely be baking them again this season, so Santa won't be skipping my house-naughty or not!

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar.
- Beat in the egg yolk and extracts.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda-gradually add to the creamed mixture.
- Divide into two equal portions and wrap well.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Note; Refrigerating your dough and baking sheets is the secret to perfectly shaped cut-out cookies/ The cookies won't"spread" as they bake- in other words, the shapes will be well-defined/ The points on the stars will be sharp, etc/ Also, your dough will be much easier to work with and won't stick to your cookie cutters, so the extra chilling time is well worth it.
- When dough has chilled, remove one half from refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- While oven is preheating, place cookie sheets in refigerator to chill.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to less than 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut with 2 1/2 inch floured cookie cutters.
- Reserve trimmings for re-rolling.
- Remove cookie sheets from fridge (do not grease them) and place cookies on them, 1 inch apart.
- Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
- Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
- Repeat with remaining portion of dough.
- Don't forget to put your cookie sheets back in the fridge once they have cooled/ They only need to chill for about 10 minutes.
- For your frosting, in a large bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and water until stiff, about 5 minutes.
- Tint frosting with paste food colorings if desired.
- Keep tightly covered to prevent from drying out.
- Note; Of course you can use the regular food colorings you find in the supermarkets if you desire/ If you haven't tried the paste colorings, the colors are much more vivid than the regular food colorings/ Your X-mas trees will be much greener, Valentine hearts a brilliant red, etc/ Although they're somewhat pricier, a drop or two goes a long way.
- For detailed decorating, you can use decorating bags with small pointed tips/ You may need to thin frosting a bit to obtain right spreading or piping consistency.
- I sometimes collect pictures of decorated holiday cookies from my favorite magazines to give me some ideas.
- After decorating the cookies, set on wire racks to allow frosting to dry.
- Store in airtight, covered containers.
- Note: I am updating this recipe just to let you know about a little tip I just saw in a magazine. The person had cut out their cookies, placed them on baking sheets, and THEN refigerated them for about an hour before baking. You can do it this way also but I'd still chill your dough beforehand too, as it's easier to work with.

HOLIDAY SUGAR COOKIES
I add a hint of lemon to these delightful sugar cookies. For make-ahead convenience, freeze the dough up to three months, then thaw in the fridge before baking and decorating them. -Katie Koziolek, Hartland, Minnesota

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out to desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle more flour on top of and under the dough, and on the rolling pin as needed to help prevent dough from sticking to the surface. Cut cookies with a round cookie cutter and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake until cookies are firm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
- Generously apply frosting to cooled cookies with a butter knife. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over top.
