Easter Cookies




Not so much Easter cookies, but just pretty pastel flower cookies.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup butter
1/2 salt
mix ingredients and chill for one hour, than roll to 1/2 inch thickness and use your favorite cookie cutters.
Bake at 400 for 12 minutes.

Frosting
One egg white
2 cups powdered sugar 
food coloring
( this is the frosting you will use to out line your cookies)

Flood frosting 
same as outline frosting but add 1 tsp vanilla and 2 tbs water.

Out line your cookies with the thick frosting and wait for it to set.  Then put your flood frosting in a squeeze bottle and pour it onto your cookies.  Let that set and go back with your stiff frosting and add embellishments!
