You can make these cookies in any shape, size and color you want. To make it easier, skip the frosting and just sprinkle with crystallized sugar or colored sprinkles. Your kids will love to decorate their own!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter substitute
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour
1 lb confectioner's sugar
3 oz cream cheese ( can use tofutti for non-dairy cookies)
5 tsp milk or soy milk
food coloring
colored sprinkles
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar with a hand mixer till blended. Add egg and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder in separate bowl, then add to butter mixture. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to chill dough.
Roll out dough on floured parchment paper. Make shapes with cookie cutters. If using sprinkles only, top cookies with sprinkles of your choosing. Bake cookies for 6-8 minutes. Cool completely.
While cookies are cooling, blend confectioner's sugar, cream cheese, milk and a couple drops of food coloring (not too much, you can always add more if needed). Use butter knife to frost cookies and top with sprinkles.
