I love sugar cookies at Christmas! They have such a classic, sweet flavor, and using cookie cutters, you can make some super cute cookies, like these White Snowflake Cookies. They're simple to create, but are perfect for a holiday celebration.
You can use this snowflake cookie cutter to get the perfect cookie every time and these White Pearl sprinkles to make the cookies look even more elegant.
Combine the dry ingredients and set them aside. Cream the butter and sugar, and add beaten egg and milk. Gradually add in the flour.
Divide the mixture in half, place one half in plastic bag in refrigerator. Place the remaining dough between parchment paper and roll to uniform ¼" thick and place in refrigerator to chill.
Cut out snowflakes and transfer to parchment coated cookie sheet.
Gather and reroll the remaining dough between parchment paper and roll to uniform ¼" thick and place in refrigerator to chill.
Bake in 375 degree oven about 7-8 minutes (watch for edges to begin to turn lightly brown). Leave on cookie sheet for several minutes before moving to cooling rack.
To create the frosting, combine the egg whites and vanilla and beat until bubbly. Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until all sugar is incorporated. Beat on high until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks.
Transfer to pastry bag and pipe pattern on cookies. Place white pearl at each point where icing lines cross.
