Michelle's Soft Sugar Cookies
1 cup margarine
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Cream the margarine and add the sugar gradually. Beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt gradually to the creamed mixture, stirring in by hand. Cover and chill dough overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough out on a floured surface to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and cut into your favorite shapes. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 6 to 8 minutes or until cookie has a golden appearance.
1 dozen sugar cookies, baked and cooled.
12 large marshmallows
frosting , white and orange
Wilton Decorating Icing Tubes in Black, Red, Green, Blue and Pink
Melt your white frosting in the microwave at 30 second increments so it is runnier than normal.
Spread the white frosting over each cookie using the back of a spoon. Let some dribble over the edges for a "puddle" look.
Place marshmallows on a microwave safe plate, then heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Watch the marshmallows as they cook and stop the microwave as soon as the marshmallows start to get puffy. Do not let them double in size.
Spray your fingers with cooking spray, and carefully pull the marshmallows off the plate by the base and set them on top of the frosted cookies.
Decorate as you'd like with the colored frosting.
