Cheryls Cookie Copycat Recipes

Steps:

• Sift flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Whisk a few times; set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whip butter, shortening and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy; about 4 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and mixing paddle as needed. Add in egg and mix until well combined. Add in remaining egg white, vanilla and almond extract and mix thoroughly. With mixer running on medium-low, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just to incorporate. Transfer dough to an airtight container and refrigerate 2 hours. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F during the last 10 minutes of refrigeration. Scoop dough out an even 1/4 cup at a time, or portion with a scale (mine were about 64 grams each), and roll into a ball. Place dough ball on lightly floured surface, sprinkle top lightly with flour. Flatten dough to 1/2″ thick using a smooth, flat object (cookie will be about 2 5/8″ - 2 3/4″ after flattening). Transfer cookie to a parchment lined, or buttered cookie sheet and repeat process with remaining dough (use 2 cookie sheets). Bake in pre-heated oven for 9 - 11 minutes, until centers just puff, and do not indent when lightly touched. Allow cookies to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool. Cool completely. Frost and decorate.

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Put dough into cookie press with desired plate; form cookies onto un-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until set, not brown (this part is important! DO NOT OVER COOK!). Cool on wire racks. Beat together butter, vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar in mixing bowl. Add milk. Continue adding sugar in 1/2 cup increments until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring to all or a portion of frosting and frost cookies. Enjoy!

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Cover dough and chill for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment or baking sheet liners. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2-inch-thick and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place 2-inches apart on to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the frosting, mix together the confectioners' sugar, oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Gradually add enough hot water to achieve a spreadable consistency. Once cookies have completely cool, frost, and serve.
