4 Large Egg Whites
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 & 1/2 tsp Pure Almond Extract

1.
In large bowl sift together flours and baking powder. Set
aside.
2.
In another bowl mix butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg
whites, vanilla and almond. Mix.
3.
Add flour mixture to the butter mixture
gradually. Mix only until combined.
4.
Put dough onto plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes.
5.
Cut a few sheets of wax paper 2 feet long. Place a handful
of chilled dough on a sheet and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness.
Place in the freezer and repeat with the rest of the dough
on the other sheets of wax paper.
6.
Heat oven to 375. Take
a sheet from the freezer. Using cookie cutters make your
shapes and carefully place onto an oiled cookie sheet. If
dough is too soft to transfer shapes then freeze another
10-15 minutes while you continue to cut the other sheets.
7.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Let cookies cool on a wire rack or a
plate. When cool mix icing ingredients together until smooth.
Color icing with desired food colorings and apply to cookies.
For painting cookies you can add more water to icing.

Something
to Think About:
|
Remember
the Holiday Cheer
Don't get
overwhelmed by the rushing, shopping, parties, working overtime
and more. Take time out to make eye contact, hold the door
for someone, appreciate the decorations. Expand your peripheral
vision and allow yourself to see the beauty of the season
all around you.
