Easy Big Batch Sugar Cookies Recipe
- Gather the ingredients:
- 2 cups butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
A small, 2-lbs. bag of flour (around six cups flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar to dust
Sparkling sugar to decorate
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla.
- Mix flour, salt and baking powder.
- Combine ingredients until you have cookie dough.
- Make three large pancake flats and chill them until firm (30 minutes - 1 hour).
Use saran wrap or parchment paper to wrap and divide pancakes. - Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll dough to 1/8 inches thick using powdered sugar.
- Cut shape with cookie cutter, but before releasing onto baking sheet, load with
sparkling sugar. (This will help contain most of the sugars) - Gently release, dust sugars and cut your next cookie until tray is loaded.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies turn brown at edges.
- Yields around 5 dozen large cookies.
More sweet ideas for your pony party:
- Sure cookie cutters help you make fun cookies for party-goers, but you can also
use cookie cutters as stencils for invitations, decorations and other crafts, as
well as for other food items. So go ahead and cut it out!
- Cookie cutters are great for cutting sandwiches for the kids, but don't try cutting
out pizza. It's a lot of work, it won't look right, and your pizza will get cold. Trust
us on this one. But there are lots of other creative no-fail ideas for your cookie
cutters:
- use them to cut savory foods like biscuits, and cheeses.
- cut horse shaped pancakes
- make Rice Krispie Treats,
- shape Jello
- cut dough for pie decorations or cut fondant well.
- use cookie cutters to help guide frosting or sugar sprinkles for the
birthday cake.
- Farm friendly food is all you need for a horse theme party. Horses love apples
(and so do kids), so start with a bushel of fresh juicy red apples. Or put apples
in a bucket, lined with a bandanna or a checked cloth.
- Be sure to see our party snack mix ideas, which look great in the feed buckets.
On the sweeter side, try caramel or candied apples. Horses love sugar too, so
stack sugar cubes intended for the coffee and tea at cake time. For the tea
bags, place a small horse sticker on the paper tag to give it a horsey touch.
- For the main meal, make it easy on yourself with burgers and hot dogs served
with shoe-string potatoes to look like haystacks. Food is made more fun served
up in pie tins for a cowboy party. Or serve burgers in an upturned plastic
cowboy hat with chips. Chicken and corn on the cob is another crowd pleaser.
To make things extra horsey, serve biscuits cut into horse-shoe shapes. Carrot
and celery sticks are another obvious choice.
- Try a cookie press to shape colorful meringues into horse shoes.
