Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • Coarse salt

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • Royal Icing for Lamb Cookies, tinted pink (optional)

  • Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Make the cookies: Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a large bowl.

Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, then vanilla. Refrigerate dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out cookies using a 5-inch lamb cookie cutter, rerolling scraps once. Transfer to a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake until edges just start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

Decorate the cookies: Transfer icing to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe an outline of icing around the edges, then “flood” each cookie with more icing to cover. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let cookies dry completely before tying a pink or blue ribbon around each lamb’s neck if desired.

      Cook's Notes

Cookie dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw before using.

                Here's one of the website links for royal icing:  http://www.marthastewart.com/948031/royal-icing 
                There are several variations if you search the MarthaStewart.com database.
                
                The printer icon is a light grey image you can find underneath the recipe title, to the left of the picture of the lamb cookies.

                Where is the print function?  In this age when we are all concerned about the environment, it is amazing that now when if I was to print the recipe it prints 15 pages.  Luckily I checked before I printed.  Bring back the old format it was easier to read now the whole recipe cannot be seen on the screen without scrolling.
