Paula Deens Touchdown Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla.
  • Mix in the flour mixture a quarter cup at a time until well blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or several hours. (NOTE: At this point the dough can be frozen for future use. )
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4" thickness.
  • Cut out with football shaped cookie cutter working from the outside to the center. (This makes for less work).
  • Place 1" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely before decorating.
  • Royal Icing:
  • In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the lemon juice.
  • Add the sifted confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed until combined, smooth and glossy white.
  • The icing needs to be used immediately or transferred to an airtight container.
  • Using a fine tipped pastry bag filled with the icing, pipe on the lines replicating the lacing on a football.
  • (NOTE: Water can be added to thin icing if desired.)
