Christmas Cut-Outs

Christmas Cut-Outs

Cookie #6 of The Little Lady's "12 Days of Christmas Cookies."


Decorate with sprinkles prior to baking, or bake plain and decorate with frosting and sprinkles afterward. The Little Lady thinks they're best with a generous mound of frosting.

Buttercream Frosting:
4-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
3-4 T. milk
1-1/2 t. vanilla

In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Slowly add half of the powdered sugar, beating well. Add 2 T. of the milk. Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar and enough milk to reach a spreading consistency.
