Sugar Cookie

  2. In a stand mixer bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. .
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add the dry mixture gradually until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out the shape using the template. For the front, back and sides, roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness. For the roof, roll it out to 1/4 inch roll. You want the roof to be thinner so it won't be too heavy for the whole structure.
  5. Water down the food coloring and brush it unto the face of the cookies.
  6. Put the cookies on top of parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes then put it on the cooling rack.
  7. Using the royal icing, construct the barn together.
