Little Piggy Sugar Cookies Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 48 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Tinted frosting

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, milk and extract. Combine the flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out with a 3-in. pig-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Outline cutouts with tinted frosting. Yield: about 4 dozen.
