Little Lamb Sugar Cookies Recipes

LITTLE LAMB SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Spread cookies with frosting.
• Press cut sides of 24 marshmallow halves, 1 at a time, into sugar. Gently press marshmallow halves, sugar sides up, into frosting on cookies for the lambs' ears and noses as shown in photo. Decorate cookies with remaining marshmallow halves, cut sides down, as shown in photo.
• Spoon chocolate into small resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece from one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe chocolate onto cookies for the mouths and eyes.
• Refrigerate 15 min. or until chocolate is firm.

LITTLE LAMB COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a large bowl.
• Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, then vanilla. Refrigerate dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out cookies using a 5-inch lamb cookie cutter, rerolling scraps once. Transfer to a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake until edges just start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
• Decorate the cookies: Transfer icing to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe an outline of icing around the edges, then "flood" each cookie with more icing to cover. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let cookies dry completely before tying a pink or blue ribbon around each lamb's neck if desired.

SPUR SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream the sugar with the shortening. Stir in the egg, salt and lemon flavoring.
• Combine the milk and the evaporated milk. Dissolve the baking soda in the milks. Add this mixture to the creamed mixture and combine well. Stir in enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
• You can either roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters or roll the dough into balls and press flat with the bottom of a glass. If desired sprinkle the cookies with sugar before baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees CO for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are soft and lightly browned around the edges. Be careful not to overbake!

SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES III

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter with sugar, beat in egg, then stir in sour cream and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture 1/3 at a time.
• Wrap dough in wax paper and chill.
• Roll out 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies with your favorite cookie cutters. Put on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes.

GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED LAMB BURGERS

Steps:

• Stir together ground lamb, garlic, mint, dill, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large bowl until just combined.
• Shape lamb mixture into four 3-inch patties. Slice goat cheese log into 4 equal pieces. Place one goat cheese piece in the center of each patty and carefully wrap edges around cheese to enclose. Gently flatten each into a 4 inch patty.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (450°F to 650°F) or a stovetop griddle to medium-high heat. Oil grate or griddle.
• Grill patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) and goat cheese melts, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve burgers on buns with arugula, aioli, and pickled red onions.
