Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture along with vanilla. Mix in medium speed to combine fully.Allow cookie dough to rest 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- Roll out dough in between parchment paper or plastic wrap or with flour, roll to 3/8" thick for thick cookies or 1/4" thick for thinner cookies.
- Cut into the desired shape. Place cookies 2 inches apart, this will ensure the cookies bake evenly on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the baking sheets. Once you've cut the cookies, gather the cookie dough and re-roll until all the cookie dough is cut.
- Place the cut cookie dough on parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. The bottoms of the cookies should be golden, the cookie should look pale in color not "browned"
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Apply icing as desired. I place each color into piping bags, cut a small hole in the piping bags, and a larger hole for the white icing, and apply the icing to the cookies.
- Allow the icing to dry completely for 24 hours before stacking cookies or wrapping them.
