Peppermint Cookies With Baking Ammonia - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking ammonia
4 - 4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon peppermint extract

Preparation

Beat together eggs and sugar until white, then add sour cream and oil.
In a cup, mix baking ammonia and warm milk, then pour into first mixture.
Add peppermint extract and mix well.
Add salt, baking powder and flour.
The dough should be very soft.
Refrigerate overnight.
The next day roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters(I used a 2 inch round cookie cutter).
Before baking, place a 9 x 13 inch cake pan full of water at the bottom of the oven.
Bake at 400\u00b0F for 8- 10 minutes(for my convection oven I found this a bit too hot, I used 375\u00b0F for 8 minutes.).
Cookies must remain white.
Ice cookies after they have cooled, with a glace.
You can use a pastry brush to apply the glace.
