Cookie Puppets

Sugar Cookies
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening solid
1 egg large
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons milk
Various kinds of candy
Lollipop sticks

In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl at medium speed, beat 3/4 cup sugar, butter and shortening until creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla and lemon extract. At low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with milk until well blended, starting and ending with flour. Let dough set for two hours.

After dough has set, preheat oven to 350º.
Grease a baking pan. Put some flower on a flat surface and roll dough untill it is about 1/4 of an inch thick. Using a cup, cut out cookies. Place on pan and insert lollipop stick.
Bake in center of oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and no indentation remains in center of cookie when lightly touched. For a softer cookie, bake the minimum time. Place foil baking pan on a wire rack and cool cookie completely. When cool, remove cookie from pan and decorate with frosting and candy.

Frosting
Powdered sugar
Milk
Food coloring

Put about 1/3 cup of powdered sugar into a bowl. Add a splash of milk.(start with a very small amount of milk, you really don't need much)
Mix ingredents until frosting is thick but can still run off spoon. Add whatever colors you desire. (i usually mix up two or three different colors so the kids have a variety to create with)
