Flour Pot Sugar Cookies
Friday, August 28th, 2009The people from the other side of the world say flour (which is only correctly pronounced Flar) as Flower. This cracked me up to no end when I was little. But there is a really spiffy book called Flour Pot Cookies, which is really cool – uses more royal icing deco as opposed to the amazing Lindy Smith’s “Bake Me I’m Yours!” which uses more fondant. Totally beautiful! I bought a few cookie cutters like handbags and shoes to decorate but I didn’t have a chance with these babies. Half went to an order and the other half was eaten before I could decorate. Well at least I’m ready for Christmas’ snowflake cookies! I had such trouble with the beautiful things last year.
Here’s mine..
Watch this for the recipe, which is pretty close to the one I used. I put 1tsp of cinnamon and no almond extract or salt.
Enjoy! This is a pretty darn good cookie! Use real butter people, real butter only! The other stuff is one molecule away from plastic :)
