St Patrick’s Day Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
½ cup sour cream 2 tsp. corn syrup
1 egg, beaten 1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 ½ cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
Icing:
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup sugar
2 tsp. milk
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
3. Mix in sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice.
4. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
6. Roll 1/8 thick on a floured surface and cut with cookie
cutters. MAKE SURE you roll the dough thin enough. They will
puff up slightly during baking, so they need to be really thin when
rolled out.
7. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
8. Let cool.
9. Frost the cookies using popsicle sticks or new paintbrushes and let
the glaze harden.
