"I received this recipe at a Cake and Candy store when I signed up for a class. We made fall leaves and put them in a clay pot - they looked great! For best flavor results use pure Mexican vanilla the creme de la creme of vanillas. You will need about 6 dozen dowels, cut to approximately 6 inches (with some longer and some shorter) for cookie sticks."
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups butter, softened 3 cups white sugar 4 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract | 1 tablespoon butter flavored extract 7 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt |
DIRECTIONS:
| 1. | Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well. |
| 2. | CHILL 3-4 hours or overnight before using. |
| 3. | Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie. |
| 4. | Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes. This dough keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. |
| 5. | Decorate as desired. Display 3-7 cookies in a 6 inch clay pot (depending on size of cookie). Weigh pot down with dried beans and cut a circle of Styrofoam to fit snugly into top. Add ribbons and enjoy. |
