White Chocolate Icicle Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
White Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
white edible glitter (optional) or decorator sugar (optional)

Preparation

Mix sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, egg and melted chips in a large bowl with a spoon till creamy. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until chilled.
Heat oven to 375\u00b0F For each cookie, divide 1 round teaspoons of dough in half. Roll each half into a 5\" rope, tapering the ends. Twist the ropes together. Place 2\" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
To hang icicles, poke a hole in the top of each cookie with a toothpick. Bake 5-7 minutes or until set and very light brown. Cool 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Brush with White Glaze (mix all glaze ingredients until smooth or of desired brushing consistency. Add more milk, a few drops at a time if necessary) and sprinkle with glitter or sugar. Thread string through the hole in each cookie to hang if desired.
