Corgi Cookies

How to make Corgi Cookies







The recipe is simple.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and chill the dough for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on a floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (I find it helpful to flour the ball of dough first too). Cut into shapes with cookie cutter(s).
Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 6 to 8 minutes (It took only 6 minutes for me).
Cool completely before decorating.

Frosting:

• I doubled the below recipe, which was also from All Recipes.
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon milk

For color, split up the frosting into smaller bowls, and used a combination of green, red, and yellow food color to make brown frosting. There is no magic amount of drops of each color. Instead, you really just have to experiment to get the shade that you want. Then you also made a pale yellow frosting, and leave some white. For black, I bought a premade black decorating gel.
