The trick to making star cookies really shine is to use edible glitter rather than ordinary decorating sugar and to roll it into the surface of the dough.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
- White edible glitter (Wilton sells these as Cake Sparkles)
- Blue decorating sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or spray cookie sheets.
- Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle white edible glitter lightly and evenly over dough. If desired, add a very light sprinkling of blue decorating sugar.
- Roll the rolling pin lightly over the dough, pressing the sugar into the surface of the dough.
- Cut into star shapes. Place on prepared cookie sheets at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until cookies are just turning pale golden around the edges.
- Let cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
