RECIPE BY Gooseberry Patch

With alphabet cookie cutters, you can spell out a greeting or a friend's name for a birthday surprise!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Icing
  • colored sprinkles

How to Make It

Step 1

Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and almond extract; beat until smooth. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic wrap and chill one hour.

Step 2

Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use alphabet cookie cutters to cut out "happy birthday" cookies; place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes; cool on wire racks with wax paper underneath racks. Spoon Icing over letters and top with colored sprinkles.

I think there is something missing in this recipe. The 'dough' did not form at all. It was more or less just crumbs. I followed everytyhing perfectly, and even after I let it chill for an hour, as soon as I unwrapped it, it crumbled. I even tried to roll it, smash it, anything to get it to stick together, nothing worked.
