Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons meringue powder
5 teaspoons water
Pastel food coloring

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours until dough is easy to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. butterfly or flower cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • For glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and meringue powder; stir in water until smooth. Divide among small bowls; tint pastel colors. Spread over cookies; let stand until set.
  • Yield: 4 dozen.
