How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine all cookie ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
-
STEP 2
Divide dough into thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.
-
STEP 3
Heat oven to 400°F.
-
STEP 4
Stir together corn syrup and water in small bowl. Lightly brush corn syrup mixture over cookies. Arrange almonds on cookies to resemble wing and tail feathers.
-
STEP 5
Bake 6-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. While warm, brush again with corn syrup mixture; sprinkle with sugar. Cool completely.
-
STEP 6
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3- to 4-inch bird-shaped cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
Tip #1
For traditional cut-out cookies, omit glaze and decorations; decorate as desired with decorator sugars or frosting.
Tip #2
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper for easier clean up.
