12 years ago, Dustin's mom, Lannis, passed away from breast cancer. This year I wanted to remember her in a simple way so I decided to make sugar cookies in the shape of cancer symbols and decorate them with pink frosting for "breast cancer."
I normally don't make sugar cookies because they are not my favorite but these turned out really good. it is a very good recipe if you plan on decorating them and needed to cut them in certain shapes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
