Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 drops soft pink color or the amount you like to get the color achieved you prefer
• 2¾ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

• In large mixing bowl beat butter with sugar for 2 minutes.
• Add in the egg, extracts and pink color.
• On medium speed mix in flour, baking powder and salt.
• Youll know the cookie dough is completely combined as it comes away from the sides of the bowl easily.
• Form a ball with the cookie dough and cut it in half and roll out one-half in between wax paper.
• I use wooden dowels that are ¼ thick to be sure the dough is even.
• Even cookie dough turns out evenly baked cookies.
• Use a gingerbread cookie cutter to cut cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake cookies in a 400-degree oven for 7-9 minutes.
• Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet before moving cookies.
• Use royal icing or other icing or frosting to decorate the angel cookie faces.
