HOLIDAY SUGAR COOKIES



INGREDIENTS
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Fleischmann's® Original-stick, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- PAM® Butter No-Stick Cooking Spray
- Candied sugars or colored sprinkles, optional
DIRECTIONS
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside. Beat Fleischmann’s and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add orange peel and vanilla; mix well. Blend in egg; beat 1 minute. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour, or until chilled.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shapes, using assorted 3-inch cookie cutters. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with candied sugars, if desired.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks. Cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
