It's A Party... Gnome Sugar Cookies.
My girlfriend loves anything that has to do with gnomes and her birthday is coming up this week. That being said I had to make her something. I decided to make gnome sugar cookies, and they turned out great. This is just a basic sugar cookie recipe and you can make them any shapes you want. Just add food coloring to the icing to make any colors.
Sugar Cookies
1 3/4 stick earth balance butter, room temperature
1 cup + 2 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon egg replacer
3 cups flour
Cream the butter with the sugar. Beat in the egg replacer until combined. Add the flour and mix until all the flour is incorporated. Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Once chilled, take out the dough and knead slightly. Roll out dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Then use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and with a spatula, loosen the cut outs. Try to place similar sized cookies on the same tray to ensure even browning in the oven. Once the tray is filled, place the entire sheet of cookies into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Once the cookies are chilled, bake them for 8-12 minutes until their edges begin to turn golden brown. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
Sugar Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
assorted food coloring
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
