My all time popular cookies that kids love. They add a burst of colour to the surroundings and are fascinating; delicious too as they are almond butter cookies with a sugar icing. Perfect to be boxed & gifted...birthdays, festivals, anniversary's... More

Ingredients
  • Ingredients:
  • Butter – ¾ cup (room temp)
  • Castor Sugar- 1 cup (I grind sugar crystals in my coffee grinder)
  • Egg – 1 / beaten
  • Flour – 2 ½ cups
  • Salt – 1 pinch
  • Almond Essence/Extract – 1 tsp
  • Vanilla Essence/Extract – 1 tsp

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 190deg C. Keep 5-6 ungreased cookie sheets on hand.
  2. Beat the butter and sugar till fluffy and light.
  3. Add the salt + vanilla essence + almond essence and beat for 30 seconds.
  4. With a spatula mix in the beaten egg.
  5. Put in all the flour in one go, and gather together to make a firm dough.
  6. Chill for at least 30 minutes in wrap.
  7. Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut with assorted cookie cutters.
  8. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 12-14 minutes, watching closely so that they don’t get too brown.
  9. Remove from oven; let the cookies lay on the sheet for a minute. Remove to racks to cool.
  10. This recipe makes approximately 8-9 dozen 1 ½” small cookies.
  11. Now the difficult part...for beginners, that is:
  12. Use about 1 cup of powdered sugar mixed with just enough water to make it thick & flowing.
  13. Colour according to requirement, and drizzle it on the cookies.
  14. I leave them to dry out overnight, and sometimes give them a minute in a hot oven to get rid of any moisture (depends on the weather actually). Practice makes this one better each time.
  15. I had so many pictures...hve uploaded them onto my foodpage
