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 KitchenAid mixer – 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

Can be made ahead and refrigerated but should be at room temperature before using*

2 lb. 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, or better yet, use tipless bags
