CHANUKAH - Gift Tag Cookies

[Guest guest]

These looked interesting. The recipe appeared in ad advertisement from one of

our local supermarkets (Tops.) They can be used either as gift tags or as

placecards, as you wish. I guess after you open your present, or eat your

dinner, you can eat the tag or placecard too. Of course, these would also be

used for Christmas or any other holiday gift or dinner.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon aniseed

1/2 cup stick butter or margarine -- softened

1/4 cup sugar

1 large egg yolk -- beaten

1 can vanilla frosting (16 oz.)

food coloring

chopstick or drinking straw

Combine flour and aniseed in small bowl. In a large bowl beat together flour

and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Add flour mixture and

continue beating until a soft dough forms.

 

Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. On a floured surface,

roll out dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with desired shape

cookie cutters (holiday or other.) Reroll trimmings to make more cookies.

 

Place cookies on baking sheets. Using a chopstick or drinking straw punch a

hole at the top of each cookie. Bake cookies until golden, about 5 - 8 minutes.

Place on wire rack to cool.

 

Divide and color frosting with food coloring as desired. Fill plastic bag with

frosting, snip one corner and pipe frosting onto cookies to decorate. Loop

ribbon through the hole and tie into a bow.

 

You can also use these as placecards, in rectangles or any shape you desire.
