The best sugar cookie recipe: For this recipe, take unsalted butter of room temperature, sugar powder, one, large egg baking powder, all-purpose flaw. And liquid or dry flavoring. Put butter and sugar powder in a bowl. If you use a blend dynamics that are present, you need. For a hand mixer, use an ordinary risk. Bids a butter and sugar powder with an electric mixer on low, medium speed until it is pale and fluffy. It takes about 34 minutes. Also, it did the best age to make sense of flavor. Does it keep beating on medium speed until well blended? Risk together the floor and baking powder. The whole flow mixture bit about 35 minutes until well combined. Sprinkled table with the flow around Spin Doctors a table and needed by hand. You will get very soft and gentle. That is similar to the children playing. You can around, shake and bake it immediately. Also, you can choose Bake ordinary white sugar cookies as a door and get variety Coke is arrived after baking. 3. How to color the dough: This is one dose of the fresh mix it on gallery it doe, it is very soft and gentle. For multi-color. Diane, you will need any food colored gels. Divide the door into pieces. One piece and rep in kitchen fill out the pieces. Need a piece of dark to flatten it out. One drop of the foot Kargil in center. Takes a father said, Oh the door and folded in $0.5 to you. Place the fingers on top of the door and the door itself. Repeat this motion in different directions until put-call Jill incorporates in the door. When food car gel is mix it in, stretch it, put a dot in front of you, press it to be the back of your hand and stretch it away from you. Scrape the jaw of the table and vote. Again. Repeat this, need an action. Stretch and hold, stretch and vote. And Jill, you get a solid color. If you want to get brighter door, then add additional foot collar gel and a repeat stage folding and stretching. You may have to add a bit of luck until the dirt is easy to calculate, but don't overdo it or you will disrupt the balance of law and butter. Red color in kitchen to prevent it from crossing over. To avoid mask color, clean workspace orally every time before next dime. Wearing gloves when coloring the door. They keep your hands clean. Take next piece of the uncolored and choose different food color gel. Repeat all stages as it was shown before. So one dose or the dot was died in three colors. Stickers and write the date to keep storage rules. The gallery dot can be stored rapid in the kitchen, film in the fridge for up to two weeks. Take the dog out of the fridge and needed by hand and do it warm enough to roll. 4. Witch fingers cookies and marshmallow eyes : Shave the door right on the baking sheet, take out the green door and divided it into small pieces. Pinch a bit of dark and make a ball. Roll it with a central part of your palm to get a row. If you want to make a part of their own narrower scope is zeta plays with the fingers and around on XYZ. Layouts are all straight or slightly bend it. Now, you will need an ordinary teaspoon with the handle object. Just make a deep ESP as a fingernail. You can leave it empty is it's both turn out, but remove the excess on the sides. You can use almonds to simulate the nail plate, choose the lightest and sharpest nuts. Press it down rho. Remove the excess fondant tool or a palette knife, cutting out the door on both sides of the nut. The dot on this side is wider than the nut. That dark and rise a lot and then you will get such a thick fingers after baking. If you want cookie fingers to be thinner than try to have the job not wider than the not exists can always be cropped. Take a teaspoon. Youth, this curved path as wrinkles on the fingers. Just two lines here and three there. To get smooth, squeaky suffice without cracks and any wrinkles. After baking. Dip your fingers in flaw and spread it on the surface. Spreads the flock thoroughly. The dots should become mate. This will have the cookie smooth after baking. If some wrinkles will arise during spreading of the law, then add them again. Take out of the oven. If you need to make a topic immediately after baking, put a stick in the hot dog. Carefully, transfer the cookie onto the cooling rack, leave it to cool down. When the dark cools down and hardened, you can take the thick with the hook your finger and decorate, for example, a cake with it. Please note one of the main mistakes. There are gaps in the cookies as if there were air bubbles. It is okay for the which fingers? Their hands are renally and ugly. If you do the cookie designs, then this Greg's are huge problem. They appeared because you missed one of the main steps before baking, spreading the flaw on the door. Look, this cookie has a smooth surface. It was spread it with Florida for banking. Compare it with this pitied cookie. So phase, this jab of the spreading of the flaw was skipped. If you use a freshly mixed it doth not from the fridge, then it will write much more in the oven. Compares the volume of the cookie fingers before and after baking. Keep this in mind when shaping the dough. So don't draw very thick fingers from the freshener mixing job. Make them thin and you will get nice cookies like this. After baking. Keep the bits of the door the same as the width of the nut, then you will get such delicate fingers. It doesn't matter to you. Then the cookie fingers will be wider and larger. In order to make the nail embedded. Make this part of the dough thinner right below the nut, as I showed you before, individual. If you want to make a creative moniker, then you will need a brush and dice. I have edible food, gosh. This is a fruit paste which includes the genome, directs its color density. If you don't have this type of dye, then make it yourself. Makes an effort called jellybeans, white powdered or gel consistency. If you use ordinary Joel dies, it will not cover the color of the nut. As always, diluting the food color paste with what? Carefully, paint nails with flat brush. Of course, you can create any design bank as if there is blood dripping here instead of the nail polish or any patterns boarding a scowl. When the foot color paint dries and doesn't stick to your fingers, it means that cookie beaches fingers are ready after drying because the color of the nail polish. May become a little darker. Take isaac of the flood consistency. Flood, Isaac Asimov, Zara, drops of blood. Put something to live. The cookie finger up, put to drive this way. So the liquid icing flows down naturally. We can stop at this stage or work a little more and add highlights. Takes the food culture that you used for doll coloring, diluted with water, dip my brush in it and taste it on the paper. Considering that the light is about the finger, darken it cites, take a lot of color mix on the brush, pen, the sides of the cookie fingers with wiping movements, it makes the cookie finger narrow visually. This dog is bad and free of ice and it absorbs water very well and this Muscogee serpents will not be damaged. Make darker green mix and paint in the wrinkles. If you don't want to dip the brush, often rock with more liquid dye. Take a liner brush, paint an outline around the nail with it. Which finger cookie is ready. And I suggest you to complete. It emits cool, eligible eyes. We will need an ordinary white Marshmallow to create them. Take it in the shape of the cylinder and shape it to be the scissors. Start with pattern corner of and trying to make around the surface. Now the marshmallow is sticky, but when it dries on air, it will crust over and we'll stop sticking. Don't recommend to sprinkle it with sugar powder or stretch. Now because we are going to paint it. Once you achieve a desired roundness, Rosa marshmallow, like a bowl. Take a foot colored gels and brushes. We will need green or blue, red and black dots. Take a flat brush. As usual, dilute all dies with water. The plants can be enabled or flat. Brush in the center. Hold the brush in place and with the marshmallow itself. Oh, spin the brush around it exists without lifting the brush. Iris of the eyes can be additionally painted. You can increase the diameter or make it brighter. Don't overdo it with water because it often can become. If you notice blue and let the survey is dry before painting. Take a round brush one or two and black dye. Draw a circle in the center, the pupil of the eye. They remain in black dye on the brush and green gel to make a contrast color. With the tip of the brush. Paints deviance to the pupil. Tags a liner, brush and black dye. Make a neat outline with black color. To make the outline neatly, it is necessary to control the amount of the March on the brush so the T-tubule not get bluer. Now at Red Greg capillaries with the liner brush and red dye, just band gap declined over the entire surface. For the convenience, you can put marshmallow on a toothpick. 5. Halloween pumpkin. How to make cookie on the stick: Today we will assemble a pumpkin in the head topic. It is very simple and fast. For this lesson, you will need orange and violet though, and a small piece of green DOT. Pumpkin and a beachhead cookie cutters tried to keep carrots, pumpkin head size ratio, a flexible plastic cutting board, any baking sheet, rolling pin, and a few fondant tool to add a relief. To keep the door of the same thickness, it is better to roll all pieces together with one a rolling pin. Check if the cricket colors fit into the dog. Guards and shapes the dough.

Roll it out thinly so that you don't have a high multiple layers of cookie dough because it will not bake thorny. Take the same pumpkin pattern and make two parallel cuts. Use a fondant to leave the door ribbon. The ribbon dot on the head. If it seems to you, the ribbon is to write, put it back and make it seen using the same cookie cutter. Choose a convenient tool to cut off the data ribbon and don't diamond-shaped DO till the cotton to 45 degrees from the head to cut the ribbon so that even if you look from the side, there will be a Green Ribbon.

If you make a mistake when drawn a sketch that a red napkin and erase unnecessary details. Don't worry, the DCFS will be destroyed with what led to a rise to spot to dry and start drawing again. I decided to add shadows on the pumpkin sections. Take an orange, dilute it with water and a flat brush band between the pumpkin section. This way will create additional volume and to highlight the outline of the pumpkin. If you get a very sharp stroke anywhere, make it blue with a badge, brush and smudge and movements. The surface will not be damaged because there is no icing on it. This is one of the main advantages of the sugar cookie recipe.
