These are probably the coolest cookies I have ever made. I mean, just look at them, can a cookie really get much cooler than a ninja cookie? As soon as I stumbled upon these cookie cutters
After I made these, I then found out that December 5th is "National Ninja Day", how appropriate!
I decided to make sugar cookies simply because that is what was requested by my fiance. The sugar cookie recipe is from Martha Stewart's Cookies
As for the icing, I found it at the I Am Baker blog, and I think I originally found that blog through tastykitchen.com. This cookie icing worked really well :) I did find myself using more milk that it originally stated, but overall it worked out great!
Sugar Cookies
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
- In a second bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar
- When the butter and sugar is fluffy, add the two eggs and the vanilla and mix well
- Add the flour to the butter/sugar mixture about a cup at a time, mixing very well after each addition
- Separate the dough into thirds, and wrap each section in plastic wrap (or place in large freezer bags)
- Place dough in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour
- After dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 325 F and line several cookie sheets with parchment paper
- Lightly flour your work surface, and roll out one section of the dough (to about 1/4" thick)
- Cut out the cookies with your favourite cookie cutters, and place on the prepared baking sheets
- Once a baking sheet is full, place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes
- After cookies are cooled and firm, bake for 8 - 15 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden
- I apologize for the large range in baking time, it really depends on how thick you roll out your sugar cookie dough :)
- Repeat steps 8 through 11 until all dough is used up. Or, you can tightly wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap, place it in a freezer bag, and freeze it for up to one month for a future use
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating
Cookie Icing
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 tbsp milk (or more if you would like thinner icing)
- 1 drop lemon juice
- 1 tbsp light corn syrup
- food colouring (either gel or liquid will work)
- Combine the icing sugar, lemon juice, and corn syrup in small bowl
- Add about 1/2 tbsp milk and mix well
- Continue adding milk until desired consistency is reached
- Mix in food colouring (if using liquid, you will want to use a bit less milk)
- Place cookie icing in a sandwich bag, and snip off a small piece from one corner
- Decorate, and Enjoy!
