Ingredients
- 2 cookie cutter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk paint egg yolk paint
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 assorted colors of paste -liquid
- 1 portion in refrigerator
- 1/8 thickness on a floured surface (lightly)
- 2 1/2 c all purpose flour
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1/2 c butter
- 1/2 c shortening
- 1 ts vanilla extract
- 1/2 ts salt
- 1/4 ts water
NOTE: Forego the usual sugar sprinkles to decorate the tops of rolled sugar cookies, and try painting them with Egg Yolk Paint. This cookie recipe works particularly well for the technique since it has no leavening added, and the cookies don't rise as much as some. Rising could alter the look of the design you paint before baking. ----
