Category: Thanksgiving Cookies

I need a good icing recipe that uses powdered sugar and hardens after decorating the cookies.?

I’m making turkey cutout cookies for Thanksgiving and they’re gonna be packaged and stacked so the icing needs to be the kind that gets hard. I don’t want to use maurienge (sp) powder – I want to use powdered sugar. I’d really appreciate the help – Thanks!

How much butter should I use for these cookies?

I’m making cookies for Thanksgiving and the recipe calls for a stick of butter. I’m tripling the recipe. Would I use 3 sticks of butter or cut down on the butter? I know sometimes when you make double or more of a recipe it says to cut down on the egg, butter etc.

Thanks?
Thanks everyone, I went ahead and used all 3 sticks of butter. I knew I was supposed to but it just looked like so much butter!!! I’m glad I did though because they taste really good–and so does the cookie dough! =)

What food or beverage can I make that will go well with cookies?

My mom has a Christmas Cookie Exchange every year at her house and I get involved. I have already made two kinds of cookies between Thanksgiving and now so I don’t want to make cookies plus everyone will have brought their cookies. I thought that it would be nice to make something that could go with the cookies. It is in the afternoon and when my mom has get-togethers some times they have wine, but this occasion may not. I love to cook so I’m up for anything. If you have a favorite cookies recipe, please suggest because I love making cookies. Any suggestions will help. Thanks!
