Cut-Out Cookies in a Flower Pot image

I found this recipe in allrecipes.com and was originally posted by Laura... Though it's just my 2nd time to bake I was surprised that it turned out great... the cookie alone was delicious! my advise is to find a good hiding spot for them for decoration 'coz they'll be gone in no time... * I used royal icing to decorate.

Time 50m

Yield 36 * depends on the shape and size

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons butter flavor extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well.
  • CHILL 3-4 hours or overnight before using.
  • Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.
  • 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.
  • 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.
