Directions:Cookies:
Beat together sugars, butter and Crisco in large bowl at medium speed until well blended. Beat in eggs. Add milk and vanilla. Beat until well blended and fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients. Gradually mix into batter by hand. Then beat on low speed until well blended. Cover bowl tightly and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Dough will still be very sticky! Drop on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until slightly browned. Approximately 11-12 minutes for medium-sized cookies, or 12-15 minutes for larger cookies. Cool completely before frosting. Makes about 4-5 dozen.
Frosting:
Melt butter at medium heat on stove. Add marshmallow crème and mix until melted together. Mix in vanilla and milk. Gradually mix in confectioners’ sugar and stir until well blended. Turn heat off, but leave on burner to keep warm or transfer to double boiler. Spread on about 3-4 cookies at a time. Immediately sprinkle with colored sugar before icing hardens. Cool at room temperature. Store in an air tight container. |
