powdered sugar ideas??


Recommended Posts

Dd just finished a cooking class and I have 8lbs of powdered sugar leftover. I hardly ever use it, even during the holidays. Anyone have any recipes that would use this up? Preferrably something I could give for a holiday gift? Hot cocoa mix? sugar cookies?? I'm at a loss. I only use it for glaze icing

I haven't made these in a long time, but I remember them being REALLY good.

 

Whipped Shortbread:

 

3 cups flour

1 lb butter (softened)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups cornstarch

pinch of salt

 

cream butter. add other ingredients gradualy. mix well. drop by tsp and press with fork. bake 325 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until light brown.

This is the one we use. Last year we made a ton of it and let the 3 youngest use it like play dough and the older three decorated one large cake and 2 dozen cupcakes with it. (for Halloween)

 

Um, I just re-read that. The older kids did NOT use the same fondant as the little kids. Ew!! The stuff the littles used was eventually thrown away.
