Bake sales are wonderful fundraisers for causes close to our hearts, and these melt-in-your-mouth ribbon-shaped Pink Ribbon Cookies were created especially with Breast Cancer Awareness events in mind. Even if you aren't having a bake sale, these sugar cookies are great for sharing.
What You'll Need
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (16-ounce) container vanilla frosting
- 1 to 2 drops red food color
What to Do
-
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 1 to 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and beat 2 minutes, or until well blended.
-
Form dough into 2 balls; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
On a lightly floured work surface, using a rolling pin, roll 1 ball of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a ribbon cookie cutter or a knife, cut ribbon shapes out of dough (see photo). Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
-
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden around the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine frosting and red food color; mix well then frost cooled cookies.

i would not roll the dough of these into balls. they are then to thin to cut into shapes. divide the dough in half then chill for an hour or so. i would also add a touch of almond extract for a tastier cookie.

Have you checked wherever cooking items are sold like wal-mart, K-Mart, Sears, etc or dollar stores, if you google it, there are plenty of choices and they can be used for so much more than Breast Cancer Awareness.
