Valentine Rich Rolled Cookies
By: Sweetiebarbara
Feb 14, 2004
Very rich and buttery cookies from my friend Elisabeth. Just perfect for children, grandchildren and a few left over for us. A number of people have added that they baked the cookies for a longer time. I tried that, and my cookies burned. Then I realized it is because I roll them VERY thin. I measured a baked cookie, and it was 1/16". So, if you roll them thin, pay attention to the time, if they are not quite that thin it will take more time than I stated in the recipe. I also use this recipe for Easter cookies, and have posted some Easter cookie pictures. Today, 4th of July, we made Independance Day cookies. I baked them for 5 minutes. My sister-in-law says what makes them so good is how thin I roll them.
SERVES 30 , 60 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (yes, 2 sticks!)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Almond Icing
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- water
Royal Icing
- 2 egg whites
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- fresh lemon juice, 1 lemon
Directions
1
Cream butter and sugar.2
Beat in egg and flavoring.3
Combine and add flour and salt.4
Chill dough 3-4 hours.5
Preheat oven to 350°F.6
Roll thinly and cut.7
Bake 5-7 minutes, (this is because I roll them very thin,you might want to cook them longer if you don't roll them thin -- see other peoples notes).8
Ice with either Almond or Royal Icing.9
The Almond Icing is a thin icing that you can "paint" on the cookies. I actually use paint brushes, and have fun coloring the icing.10
The Royal Icing dries hard. It can be used to "glue" tails back on kittens (cookies) and trunks on elephants. It also holds the cookies together better for shipping. I use a small metal spatula for spreading this, and use a lot of sprinkles and other adornments with this icing.11
The amounts of sugar and liquid are flexible to your own preferred consistency.

This is a very good cookie. I didn't get near 60 cookies, but my cutter was kind of large. The dough is sticky so I would recommend chlling very well before rolling. The flavor is very good and they don't spread when baking.

I am changing this review and giving it the five stars it deserves because not only is it quick and easy, but it results in a buttery cookie that is still delicious after several days. I also refrigerated half the dough and used it several days later and they still taste great! A you can tell by my photos I topped the first batch with colored sugar and the second batch I dipped in chocolate. Deelish either way. And I won't be making these just for valentines day - they will be wonderful anytime, holiday or not! Thanks for sharing your recipe sweetiebarbara!

THIS is my new Christmas cookie recipe! I have always used the Rich Roll cookie recipe from The Joy of Cooking, but wanted to try something else this year. WOW, these are so good and very easy to roll. Instead of using the icing, I just sprinked colored sugar on before I baked them. We ate them with Family Style Eggnog for dessert on Christmas Eve. They paired very well with the richness of the eggnog; a perfect dessert after a rich turkey dinner! This recipe is a keeper! BTW, I had some dough left over and it was just fine rolled and baked 5 days later.
