Easter Cutout Cookies

1 cup salted organic butter, (it helps if you take the butter out of the fridge before you have to put it in the mixer)
1 cup organic sugar
3 cups Organic flour 
1 large organic egg
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla extract
½ tsp. another extract of your choice (you can use almond but I don’t like the taste so I just use more vanilla or lemon extract)
2 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder
½ tsp. fine Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 1 minute…..or 2.
3. On medium speed, beat in the egg, vanilla, the other extract of your choice, baking powder and salt.
4. Add flour to the mix 1 cup at a time, beating until combined after each cup that you add. 
5. Divide your dough into two balls. Lightly flour your rolling pin so it will not stick.  Roll your dough to about 1/4″ on a piece of parchment paper and use cookie cutters to cut your cookies.
6. Line cookie sheets with clean parchment. Place cookies on parchment and bake at 350 F. for 6-8 minutes depending on your oven.
7. Remove parchment from pan and allow cookies to cool.

DO NOT DISTURB the cookies until they cool and set properly

• 1 cup of organic powdered sugar
• 4 tsp of milk or lemon juice for lemon flavored icing.
• We used plant based food coloring to make the colors. 
• Make two batches of the icing one thinner and one thicker. This way you can line it in a bit thicker icing and flood the cookie with a little bit thinner icing
• Place the sugar in a bowl
• Slowly add milk while stirring
• Divide the icing in different containers
• Color the different bowls the colors you need
• Choose the icing bag and add the coupler in the inside and the tip that you need to make a fine straight line on the outside. Add the coupler ring on the outside over the tip. 
• Add the colored icing and line your cookie in the thicker icing.  
• Repeat for the next icing bag with the thinner icing and fill in the area that you have lined.  
• Using a toothpick fix any areas that have bumps or lumps
• Do the same thing with each icing bag and each color.
