Football Cookie Recipes
Victory Sugar Cookies:
Cream together: 1 cup butter and 2/3 cup sugar
Beat in: 1 egg
Combine and Add: 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 2 1/2 cups flour
Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Chill dough 3-4 hours before rolling. Preheat oven to 350. Bake 8-10 minutes or until barely colored. Frost cookies.
Frosting: 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. butter, 1 Tbsp. milk, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp lemon juice
Combine. Beat until smooth. Add food coloring. (I love this frosting - it's really more of a glaze and slightly hardens on the cookies so you can stack them on top of each other without the frosting coming off).
