Chalkboard Sugar Cookies!
These are so cute and a really fun gift for teacher appreciation!
They are easy to make!
Sugar Cookies!
These ones don't spread when they bake...they are crisp and
a little flavorless...but great with frosting!
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix, separate into 2 balls...press into disks...and place in a ziploc bag and set in the fridge for 2 hours...or the freezer for about 20 minutes. Then remove, roll out on floured surface and bake 325 for about 12 minutes.
Let them cool completely.
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 drop of essential oil flavoring (I used citrus bliss)
food coloring (I used black)
Then put a sandwich zip baggie in a cup with the corner at the bottom like this.
Pour in the icing.
Twist it up and then snip just the tip...just barely. Then you have a perfect piping bag.
Pipe a border around all the cookies.
Add a spoonful of water to the icing and mix it up again... Now it will be runnier.
Squeeze some on the cookies and use a toothpick to fill in any gaps.
Let them set up...overnight.
They dry smooth and shiny.
Then I just used white food coloring and a new paintbrush to paint on the words.
Add some fun "teachy" sayings! We had a fun time making these...and since we homeschool... I'm the teacher and so I guess I get all these cookies!
Love it! These would be perfect in a cellophane bag tied with a bow!

Mix up some royal icing.
This stuff is made with egg whites and not water...so it forms a crisp sweet glaze that dries hard and shiny. It is so fun to decorate with... but I had a horrible time with it in the humid south...it just wont set up there! Sorry!Royal icing:
