This is my own little twist on the christmas classic, made in an italian kitchen minus the fun shapes. Since I could not make snowmen or reindeer silhouettes, squares or diamonds were a simple and classy alternative. If you wanted to give an extra touch, you can let your cookies cool on rolling pin for a convex shape and drizzle a jackson pollock-esk design on top.
5 cups flour
1 tsp b. soda
1 tsp b. powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Sprinkle of nutmeg
1 cup 2 eggs (sounds like a bad joke) fill remainder with milk
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar (opt. substitute 1/2 cup with brown sugar)
1 tsp vanilla
opt 1 drop YL lemon essential oil
Mix well and refrigerate over night.
Glaze:
2 cups water
2 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 - 1/2 cup cocoa powder (as desired)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
sprinkle of nutmeg
Could always add in ginger or orange instead of lemon.
Enjoy!
