WHITE LILY FROSTED SOFT SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375. Prepare baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray or parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Combine shortening, sugar, egg, and vanilla in large bowl; beat 2 minutes. (Butter, powdered sugar, milk and 1 t. vanilla will be for frosting).
• Stir in sour cream and half dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in remaining dry ingredients. Roll into 2" balls with oiled hands. Place on prepared baking sheet about 3" apart. Dip bottom of a glass into flour; press down to about 1/2" thickness.
• Bake for 10-11 minutes or until cookies begin to look dry on top. (Cookies will not be brown) Cool 2 minutes; remove to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• To prepare frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sifted powdered sugar, milk, and 1 t. vanilla; beat on low until blended, beat on medium until light and fluffy. Add more milk if frosting is too thick. Stir in any desired food coloring and frost cookies.

CALLA LILLY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease and flour 3 large cookie sheets (I just use parchment paper).
• Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Set aside.
• Clean mixer and beaters.
• Beat egg yolks until light yellow.
• Add sugar to the yolks and beat long and hard.
• Remove the beaters from the mixer and fold in the egg whites, flour, pecans and vanilla BY HAND.
• Be gentle.
• Drop the batter with a tablespoon, allowing for only 4 or 5 cookies per cookie sheet.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly browned on edges and bottom.
• Working quickly, roll each cookie into a cone.
• Cool completely.
• Using a piping bag (see my note below), fill each cooled cookie with 1 T. of whipped cream.
• Refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours before serving.
• The unfilled cookie shells can be frozen and filled at a later date.
• My Note Below:
• A piping bag can be made by putting the whipped cream in a plastic storage bag. In one of the corners of the bag, poke a hole large enough to squeeze the whipped cream through.
