Directions

1.  Cream together your butter and sugar, then add in your eggs and vanilla. Combine.

2. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir with rubber spatula.

3. Cover your mixing bowl and place in the fridge to chill.

4.  Preheat the over to 375° F.

5. Place dough on parchment paper in a ball, then place another piece of paper on top of the dough. Then roll it out until it is about 1/4″ thick.

6. Use a small knife to cut the shape of the small world clock with a Santa hat, then place on cookie sheet.

7. Bake for 7-8 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

8. Mix together the royal icing ingredients (minus the food coloring) together until peaks form.

9. Place 1/4 into a piping bag with a medium-size rounded tip, then outline the shape of the clock head and fluffy white parts of Santa’s hat.

10.  Place 3-4 Tbsp of royal icing into a bowl and stir in red food coloring, add 5 Tsp of water, and use it to outline Santa’s hat.

11. Place the rest of the white icing into a piping bag, and fill in the white parts of your cookie — using a small metal spatula to smooth out the inner frosting.

12.  Add red food coloring to any leftover frosting, and pipe to fill in the red hat — spreading smooth with a small metal spatula.

13. Use gold food coloring to draw on a face and outline Santa’s hat.

Enjoy these delicious cookies while you remember the great times you had on “it’s a small world”.
