Recipes for today
Wilton Sugar Cookie
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 tsp. baking powder
3 c. flour
This recipe is best mixed in a KitchenAidmixer 
    a hand mixer is not strong enough
This recipe makes about 3 dozen 3” cookies
Increase or change the flavoring to your taste
The dough does not need to be refrigerated before using
If you are making large or intricate cookies, you may find it
    easier to refrigerate the dough for an hour
You may need/want to add extra flour
Bake 350 for 10-11 min 375 8-9 minutes
Rotate trays halfway through baking
Glace Frosting
2lb. powdered sugar
½ c. water + extra if needed
¼ c. corn syrup  
1 tsp. clear extract of choice

I use clear butter flavoring
Make your frosting a bit thicker until you get more comfortable working with it
This frosting dries hard to the touch and soft to the bite
It takes a full 24 hours to get completely dry
Small Batch Royal Icing
2 Tbsp. Meringue powder
¼ c. water
Mix well
Add 2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. clear flavoring
Mix on low for 7 minutes
Royal icing can be refrigerated but it tends to separate, so it needs to be mixed well prior to using
Keep a pin handy if using very small tips in case they get clogged
