Ooh that also looks yummy. Ketchup sounds weird, but heck I'm willing to try it XD
Here's a sugar cookie recipe I made:
2 1/4 cup self rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1tbsp almond extract
beat sugar and butter in a large bowl at medium speed, until fluffy. beat in egg, vanilla, almond extract. gradually add flour. beat at low speed until its all blended.
cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, or however long it takes until it becomes firm enough to roll out on the counter.
(make sure to cover counter and rolling pin with flour so dough doesn't stick and shred apart)
Of course, stamp with cookie cutters of your choice and bake them at 350 F for 8-10 minutes.
For the icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla (preferably clear so colors come out better, but brown works alright)
add whatever choice food coloring. I usually make about 3-4 bowls of this for different colors
The consistency of the icing is usually a bit runny. You can thicken it with more powdered sugar, or thin it with more milk. But ultimately it's going to act kind of like glaze and get all over the place :vanora_upsidedown:
let the cookies dry for a while after icing them for less mess and better texture :D
