Roll dough ⅛″ thick. Cut into 2″ × 3″ oblong shapes. Bake. When cookies are cool, write names on them with melted chocolate or colored icing.
FLOWER COOKIES
For Easter, spring and summer parties.
Color dough pink or yellow. Cut cookies with little scalloped cutters, for petal effect. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with pink or yellow sugar before baking. Bits of candied orange peel or yellow gum drops may be used for yellow centers.
Make flower and rosette shapes by forcing the dough through a cooky press.
DECORATING ICING
Into 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar, stir just enough water (about 1 tbsp.) to make icing easy to force through pastry tube—yet hold its shape. Tint if desired with a few drops of food coloring. (Pile into pastry tube and squeeze.)
