Holiday Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 package Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
• 1 Stick ( ½ cup) Butter, Margarine or Spread, softened (not melted)
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp Flour
• Wilton Holiday Cookie Cutters
• Wilton Cookie Icing

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (350 degrees Fahrenheit for a dark or nonstick cookie sheet).
• Using a pastry blender, combine cookie mix, flour, softened butter and egg in a medium bowl and stir until soft dough forms, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a flat surface covered with flour.   Sprinkle a light dusting of flour on top of the dough as well for easy rolling.  Dough should be 1/8 inch in thickness after being rolled.

• Using 3” Wilton Holiday Cookie Cutters, cut the desired shapes.  Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Helpful Hint: Cover the cookie sheet with Parchment Paper to avoid sticking and easy removal from the cookie sheet to the cooling racks.

• Bake cookies for 5-7 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.  Cool one minute before removing from the cookie sheet.  Let cool on a wire cooling rack.
• Decorate cookies using Wilton Cookie Icings.
