2 1/2 cups Domino's powdered sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
2/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
Glaze: 4 cups Domino's powdered sugar; 1/2 cup Crisco shortening; 1/4 cup water; 1 TBSP vanilla
In a mixer add softened butter and 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar--beat. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk and 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla--beat. Add baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cocoa--beat. Add flour--beat (continue with a wooden spoon if it gets too thick for the mixer). Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight. The next day sprinkle some powdered sugar on your counter and scoop some of the cold cookie dough out of the bowl and place it on the powdered sugar. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cookie dough. Roll the dough to 1/8" thick. Cut the dough with any shape cookie cutters. Place cookies on to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Cool cookies for 5 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. Continue with remaining cookie dough. Cool cookies completely. Glaze: in a mixer add Crisco, water, 1 TBSP vanilla and 4 cups powdered sugar--beat slowly until mixed, then beat on medium speed for 8-10 minutes. Frost the cookies.
