Sugar Cookie Ingredients:
2 Cups sugar
1 Cup sour cream
1 Tsp. soda
1 Tsp. vanilla
1 Cup salad oil
2 Eggs
1-1/2 Tsp. salt
4-1/2 cups sifted flour
2 Cups sugar
1 Cup sour cream
1 Tsp. soda
1 Tsp. vanilla
1 Cup salad oil
2 Eggs
1-1/2 Tsp. salt
4-1/2 cups sifted flour
Sugar Cookie Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together sugar, eggs and oil until fluffy and well mixed. Stir in sour cream. Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to mix after each addition. Batter will be stiff and may need to be kneaded by hand to mix completely. Dough will roll and cut better if you chill for at least an hour first. Bake at 350º until golden. For softer cookies, bake 10-15 minutes. For crispy cookies, bake 20 minutes.
Cookie Paint Instructions:
For each "paint" color, mix 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Mix well, then add food coloring until the mixture reaches the desired color. (Caution--a little goes a long way, and it usually takes only a few drops!)
Have a small paint brush for each color, and paint the cookies before they’re baked. Any roll and cut cookie recipe can be used.

Painted Holiday Sugar Cookies
Kid Pleasers
.jpg)
Kids love doing these, and it’s faster, easier, and a LOT less messy than frosting cookies! Painting cookies is way more fun, and less frustrating for little ones, who may lack the manual dexterity to work with frosting. Even young children can make a pleasing creation using this easy painting method!
Use your favorite cookie recipe, chill the dough, then roll out and cut, using holiday-shaped cookie cutters. Busy schedule? Skip the mixing and rolling part and use pre-made cookie dough, so you'll have more time for the fun part--painting cookies with the kids!
This works best if you have the kind of cookie cutters that actually imprint a design into the cookie--the indentations made by the cutters help to contain the individual colors. (Years ago I had a set of holiday cookie cutters from Tupperware that were ideal for this, and included cutters for several holidays. If you can't find this type, try a Tupperware dealer.)
If you can't find them, cookie painting can also be used with plain cut shapes, though you may need to settle for a simpler design--or trace your own detail lines into the cookie dough with a sharp knife. Since you paint before you bake, part of the fun is seeing how your painting efforts change during the baking process. With a little experimentation, you and the kids will soon be turning out painted cookie "masterpieces" the whole family will enjoy!
