Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c butter softened (3 sticks)
  • 2 c sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 c cake flour

Butter Cream Frosting

  • 1 c butter 2 sticks
  • 4-5 c powdered sugar
  • Milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Cutler's Glaze

  • 8 c powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp almond emulsion* or almond extract
  • 1 tsp meringue powder**

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended well. Combine baking powder, salt and flour in a separate bowl. Add to dough and mix. To make dough easier to work with, chill before rolling.
  2. On a lightly floured surface roll to about 1/4 inch thick and cut cookies. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cookies are done when top is slightly cracked and no longer looks wet. Edges may be slightly browned.
  3. For the buttercream frosting: Beat butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add a splash of milk and vanilla, blend well. Tint frosting with food color as desired. Decorate with sprinkles immediately after frosting.
  4. For the glaze: Place powdered sugar in a large bowl. Add almond emulsion or almond extract to the powdered sugar, along with water, a little at a time whisking to combine. Continue whisking until smooth.
  5. Add just enough water to make a smooth glaze that stays on a knife when the knife is dipped in the glaze.
  6. Glaze the cookies by dipping the cookie into the glaze in a bowl and removing quickly when coated. Place cookies on rack or cookie sheet until glaze sets.

Recipe Notes

Tips (source: A Bountiful Kitchen):
-*almond emulsion is sold at specialty cooking stores (Orson Gygi's in Salt Lake City) or stores where cake decorating supplies are sold.
-** Meringue powder is also sold at specialty cooking stores. Cutler's uses meringue powder to create a shiny effect on their glaze. It is optional when making the glaze.
-If the glaze starts to get too stiff, add a small amount of water until desired consistency.
