Piped-on frosting made my cookies into vivid mini-quilt blocks for a sweet ending to the theme luncheon. My friends appreciated the fact that even the food reflected our mutual love of quilting. —Grace Yaskovic, Branchville, New Jersey

Quilted Sugar Cookies Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vanilla frosting and food coloring or decorator's icing

Directions

In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs; mix well. Add flour; mix well. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with heavy-duty foil. Press dough onto the bottom of pan. Score dough with a sharp knife to make 2-in. x 2-in. squares (discard scraps or reroll and bake as directed). Bake at 325° for 16-18 minutes or until set (cookies will not brown). Carefully lift cookies out of pan using foil. Cut into squares; cool. Mix frosting with food coloring to make desired colors or use decorator's icing. Decorate cookies with quilt patterns. Yield: about 3 dozen.
