Recipe: Notchland Christmas Butter Cookies

By , About.com Guide

Make old-fashioned Christmas Butter Cookies with this recipe from the Notchland Inn in Harts Location, New Hampshire. Reprinted with the permission of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitor's Bureau.
Cook Time: 0 hours, 10 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2-1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup sweet softened butter
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp of orange juice
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients, beating at low speed until well mixed (1-2 minutes). Divide into thirds. Chill for 1-2 hours or longer. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out on floured surface to 1/4" thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 6-10 minutes until golden around the edges. Remove to racks to cool. Decorate as you wish. At Notchland, we use thin, brightly colored icing, and have our guests “paint” designs on them. Also good are colored sugars, various sprinkles or “jimmies.”
