Buttery Bow Cookies Recipe



Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• Red and green colored sugar

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Combine egg and cream; gradually beat into crumb mixture until a ball forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
• Divide dough into three portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with colored sugar. Cut into 8-in.-long x 1/4-in.-wide strips. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; form into bows.
• Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before carefully removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 6 dozen.
