  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or lemon extract
  • 1 egg
  • Sugar
  • 1 cup Betty Crocker™ Creamy Deluxe™ vanilla frosting

Steps

  • 1

    Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered surface with cloth-covered rolling pin. Cut with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters into desired shapes; sprinkle with sugar. On ungreased baking sheet, place 2 inches apart.

    Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. In microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted; stir. Frost cookies. Stir together small amounts of water and food colour. Paint colours on freshly frosted cookies, using fine-tip brush, then swirl colours with brush or toothpick to create marbled designs. Dry completely before storing.
