Back-to-School Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar

1 cup butter

softened

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ cup heavy cream

1 pinch salt

½ cup confectioners' sugar

or as needed

1 teaspoon lemon juice

or as needed

assorted food coloring

Dessert

Directions

Step 1

Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well mixed. Sift together flour baking powder and salt and stir into the creamed butter mixture alternately with the heavy cream until dough is evenly mixed. Chill dough in refrigerator 2 to 3 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roll cookie dough on a floured work surface. Cut dough into strips about 2 1/2 inches long and about as thick as a pencil forming one end into a point. Arrange \pencils\ on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned 12 to 14minutes. Transfer parchment paper with cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5

Mix enough confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl to form a thick icing. Divide icing among several small bowls and mix different colors of food coloring into each bowl.

Step 6

Decorate \pencil\ cookies with colored icing so they look like colored pencils. Allow icing to dry completely.
