After cookies are baked, frost with a thin powdered sugar frosting that has
been tinted with food coloring. Sprinkle with decorator sprinkles while
frosting is still moist. 1-Cream butter and vanilla together. Add sugar
slowly, creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating
well after each. 2-In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together and
slowly add to creamed mixture. Chill for 3 hours or more. 3-Roll chilled
dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired
shapes. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in preheated 375 degree oven for
6-8 minutes. Do not overbake. This makes about 6 dozen small cookies. This
recipe was a first place winner for 9 year-old Tamara Dixon of Oceanside Ca
at the Del Mar fair 1993.
