Ingredients

  • 1 Box 10x sugar, or 3 3/4 C. confectioner sugar

  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Mix sugar and butter.
  2. Add eggs & flour.

  4. On a floured surface, roll out a softball-size piece of dough with a rolling pin until very thin (thickness of CD or less).
  5. Cut with favorite cookie cutter shape.
  6. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  7. Brush lightly with egg wash and decorate with colored sugar sprinkles.
  8. **I also make a cinnamon sugar topping 3 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon**
  9. Bake in 350 oven until light golden color (about 6-8 minutes).*

Notes

Ah, here is were this recipe is challenging. You have to watch the cookies, because if left in too long they will "burn" or come out dark brown. They are so thin that they cook very fast! At least Dad likes the burnt ones, so no cookie goes to waste!
