I can't find the recipe, but I got it from my neighbor. I'll call her tomorrow and get it again.

Usually, I just use the Betty Crocker bagged mixes. They turn out great.

Chill over night.
Roll to 1/4 thickness and cut with cutters
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 mins ( I do mine on parchment paper on my stones. They are baked perfect and slide right off.

For colored cookies add food coloring before all the flour has been added.
Or add colored sprinkles before baking.

I am a wilton decorator person and I don't like our decorator bottle set. I just can't get used to not holding a bag. Good luck with yours though.

I actually bought these so my three-year old could help. She wanted to use the decorator bag at Halloween and it was just WAY too messy. I hope this goes well.

Hi there! I would love to share my favorite cut-out cookie recipe with you. It's a tried and true family recipe that never fails to impress. Here's what you'll need:- 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of saltIn a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight. This will make it easier to roll out and cut into shapes.When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Now comes the fun part – decorating! I highly recommend using your new decorator bottle set to add colorful icing and decorations to your cookies. Have fun and let your creativity run wild!I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Happy baking!
