Ingredients

• 2 cups of Organic All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Non-Aluminum Baking Powder
• 6 Tbsp Grass Fed Butter
• 1/3 c. Coconut Oil
• 3/4 cup organic Raw Sugar
• 1 Pastured Egg
• 1 Tbsp Raw Milk
• 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

Instructions

Beat your butter, sugar, coconut oil and eggs.

In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet until they are all combined in your bowl.  

Cover and put in your refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.  

Cut dough in half and leave the other half in the fridge.  

Roll dough out to 1/8"

Cut out the dough with cookie cutters placing on a silicone mat and placing a distance between each cookie so they will not touch while baking and bake the cookies for 8 min or until done at 375 degrees F.


Set aside on a wire rack and let cool.  

When cooled ice the cookies as you desire.  

We made a simple icing from lemon juice, water, organic powdered sugar and organic food coloring.  We added liquid until we got the desired consistency and put it in a piping bag.
