                      ~ Holiday Cookies~

                        ICING 
                        2 & 1/2 cups confectioners sugar 
                        2 TBSP Meringue Powder (found in cake decorating dept) 
                        4 TBSP Water 
                        1 & 1/2 Pure Almond Extract 
                      You will also need 
                        wax paper and cookie cutters

                  | 
                     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.
