Time 3h30m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon water
Food colors

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening or spray with cooking spray. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half 3/16 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. On cookie sheet, place cookies about 2 inches apart.
  • In small bowl, mix egg yolk and water. Divide mixture among several small custard cups. Tint each with a different food color to make bright colors. (If paint thickens while standing, stir in a few drops of water.) Paint designs on cookies with small paintbrushes. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.

I'm not a fan of coconut, but I loved these cookies. The glaze is so good that it makes you forget about the coconut.

I was a little skeptical about how these cookies would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're so light and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cookies are so unique and delicious. I love the way the glaze hardens and gives them a shiny finish.
