By Special Request, the Feis Culkin Sugar Cookie Recipe
Fans of the sugar cookies at the Feis Culkin Bake Sale asked about the "wonderful" treats and the secret behind them.
Culkin mom Angela L's cookie recipe, which were cut to look like Irish dancers, follows after the jump.
- 1/3 cup butter flavored Crisco
- 1/3 cup butter, softened (use butter, not margarine)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream Crisco, butter, sugar, and salt together. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add dry
ingredients and fold in until blended well. Divide dough into 2 or 3 sections, wrap each piece in
plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, longer if possible (This is a great dough to make 2 or 3 days ahead of time).
Roll out sections to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into whatever shapes desired. Place shapes on "Pam" sprayed cookie sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn.
Cool completely before icing.
