Fabulous Easter Cookies










Create cute Easter cookies with my favorite sugar cookie recipe and colored marshmallow fondant.

Sugar Cookies
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter (room temperature)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream together the sugar and butter. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, add to mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition.  Roll dough out on a flour surface to 3/8 inch thick. Use your favorite cookie cutter.  Place cookies on parchment paper covered cookie sheets.   Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes. Place cookies on cooling racks.

Marshmallow fondant recipe can be found on my blog.  Use colored marshmallow fondant to cut out decorations. Apply to cookies by brushing on a small amount of corn syrup.
