Ingredients For Snowflake Sugar Cookies Recipe

For the Dough: 

1 ⅓ cups of Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Shortening 

1 ½ cups of sugar 

2 eggs 

4 tablespoons of milk 

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract 

4 cups of all-purpose flour 

3 teaspoons of baking powder

Directions For Snowflake Sugar Cookies Recipe

  1. Begin by getting a large mixing bowl and mix together your Chosen Foods shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until it is smooth. Then slowly add in both eggs. Leave the bowl aside. 
  2. In another bowl, sift together your flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.  
  3. Slowly fold in your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients until the mixtures are combined and a rough dough forms 
  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour. 
  5. Preheat your oven to 375F and prepare a baking tray with lined parchment paper. Once the dough is chilled, flour your working surface and roll out your dough to about ¼ inches thick. Cut out snowflakes using a cookie cutter. Be gentle with the dough so it doesn’t tear.  
  6. Bake the cookies at 375F for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  7. Let the cookies cool and prepare the icing. Add your shortening and vanilla extract to a small bowl, creaming the shortening until smooth.  
  8. Then add a cup of powdered sugar at a time, along with the milk, and stir until a frosting forms. For a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar than milk! 
  9. Using a plastic baggie or piping bag, pipe the frosting onto the snowflakes in a design of your choosing! Sprinkle on your festive sprinkles and then enjoy!
