Sugar Cookie Stockings Recipe

• Mary’s Sugar Cookies — (see recipe)
• Food colors, if desired
• Thin Cookie Glaze — (recipe follows) OR 2/3 cup Decorator’s Frosting — (see recipe)

THIN COOKIE GLAZE

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 4 drops red or green food color (4 to 5 drops)
• 1/3 cup (about) powdered sugar

Preparation:
Prepare and refrigerate dough for Mary’s Sugar Cookies as directed, tinting dough with desired food colors.

Heat oven to 375º. Roll one third of dough at a time 3/16 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered surface. Cut into 6- to 8-inch stockings.

Place stockings on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut accent dough (toes, heels, cuffs) to place on stockings if desired. Bake about 9 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Spread with Thin Cookie Glaze.

THIN COOKIE GLAZE:
Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, the milk, and almond extract. Tint half of the mixture with food color. Add additional milk, a few drops at a time, if necessary, or until desired spreading consistency. Place baked cookies on wire rack. Pour small amount of tinted glaze over each cookie; spread to edge with spatula. Add enough powdered sugar to remaining glaze to make frosting that can be used in a decorating bag and will hold its shape. Place in decorating bag with #2 writing tip. Decorate cookies as desired. Makes enough to glaze and decorate 8 to 10 stockings.
