Recipe Type: Baking
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
- ⅔ cups sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup Monk Fruit In the Raw Bakers Bag
- Icing--recipe below
- Cookie Cutters--beehive and bee
- Food coloring--favorite yellow and black
Icing
- 1 cup of powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 T. milk
- 1 T. light corn syrup
- quick squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combined the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together until light yellow.
- Add vanilla and egg plus one egg yolk. Combine until well blended.
- Stir in Monk Fruit sweetener. Slowly add dry ingredients from medium bowl.
- Dough should rest for 3 hours to overnight. Place cookie dough on a piece of plastic wrap and tightly seal. I kept mine in the fridge overnight and made the cookies the next morning.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove cookie dough from refrigerator and cut in half. Using a bit of flour and your rolling pin, roll dough to ¼ inch thickness. Dip cookie cutter into flour and cut shapes place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes for a large cookie. My bees did not take as long because of their size.
- Remove and let completely cool on wire rack before icing and decorating.
- These can be stored up to three days before decorating in a sealed container or bag.
Icing
- Combine ingredients together in small bowl and whisk well. This will be used for the outlining of the cookie. Add coloring if desired.
- Put a small amount into a icing bag with #4 tip and outline your cookie.
- To flood cookie, thin icing with a few more drops of milk. Add icing to a new bag with #4 tip and fill the inside of your outlined cookie or design.
- Let cookie sit for 1 hour for icing to set.
- Finish decorating cookie with your favorite design.
- Store cookies in sealed container or baggie.
