Directions

Serving Size: about 25 cookies

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cookies: Cream butter and sugar in large mixing bowl until well combined and pale in colour. Add egg, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and mix until smooth and without streaks. Mix in remaining dry ingredients.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface roll each piece to a ¼”(5mm) thickness. Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheets. Gather up scraps and repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until beginning to colour. Cool on wire racks.
  • Glaze: Combine icing sugar with water. Brush a thin coat of glaze over cookie bugs. Allow to dry slightly. Divide remaining glaze into small containers. If you run out, just make a bit more. Add different food colours to each container. Using a small paint brush, paint each cookie any way you like it. Small squeeze bottles of glaze work well.
