HOT DOG, its the 4th of July!
These cookies are easy to make and even the kids can help!
1 C. butter
1/2 Powdered sugar
2 C. flour
1 Tsp. vanilla
red food coloring
Yellow frosting
Beat butter and sugar then vanilla and flower. Take 1 cup of dough and dye it red ( about 6 drops). Chill all dough for one hour. Cut the red dough in 16 equal pieces and shape into the 2 1/2 inch dogs. Take the remaining dough and form into 3 inch logs and place a slit down the middle and spread apart with your fingers. Insert the dog and bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. When cool squeeze a line of yellow frosting "mustard" down the middle. Wa la! You have hot dogs!
Note: I always make my own frosting, but I couldn't see making a whole batch of buttercream for such a small amount of frosting....so I just bough a tube of yellow decorator frosting.
