CHOLESTEROL FREE, LOW FAT COOKIES W/ ICING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients with a fork. You can put this in the fridge if you're oven isn't ready to go since it's easiest to cut dough when it's still cold.
• Flour surface and roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick. If you refrigerated the dough & it's cracking as you roll it, more than just on edges, let it warm up for a couple of minutes, then continue.
• Cut with cookie cutters. Place on parchment paper on cookie sheet. Bake immediately for 15 minutes. Don't let them get brown. Brown means over cooked in this case.
• Let cool on cooling racks. When completely cooled, frost with Kittencal's frosting #: 261889 It's so good, just confectioner's sugar, 1 T skim or non dairy milk and 1 T corn syrup to harden the frosting. Let set for 15 minutes before eating.

LOW-FAT HOLIDAY SUGAR COOKIES WITH ICING THAT HARDENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Beat margarine and sugar until well mixed, adding egg white and vanilla as you go.
• Whisk baking powder, flour, tartar, and salt in another bowl. Mix bit-by-bit into egg mixture, not adding any more if the dough is too thick.
• Knead dough 3-5 times on heavily floured surface until smooth and at your desired consistency.
• Roll dough out on the heavily floured surface with a floured rolling pin, and cut shapes out. Place them on a cookie sheet, covered in parchment paper. (Don't sub the parchment paper for oil, butter, or cooking spray. Bottoms will crisp).
• Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes until tops of cookies have firmed, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't brown (these are best light and soft).
• Take out of oven and place on cooling rack.
• While cooling, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until shiny.
• Add food colouring to icing if you wish, and ice the cookies once they have cooled. ENJOY!
