Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 cup Imperial Sugar® / Dixie Crystals® Granulated Sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
FROSTING:
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
4-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk
Black liquid food coloring
ROYAL ICING:
4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
3 tablespoons meringue powder
Red and green paste food coloring
Assorted sprinkles

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and corn syrup. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Divide dough in thirds. Shape each into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. dog-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For frosting, in a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese and corn syrup. Add enough milk to make a thin spreading consistency. Divide in half; tint one half with black food coloring and leave remaining half plain.
  • For royal icing, in a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water and meringue powder; beat on low speed just until combined. Beat on high for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Divide in half; tint one portion red and the other green. (Keep unused icing covered at all times with a damp cloth.)
  • Decorate cookies as desired with frosting, icing and sprinkles. Let dry at room temperature for several hours or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 7 dozen.
