Buttery Bow Cookies

This is a very moving song and just wanted to share it with you all.

Buttery Bow Cookies

3 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup cold butter, cubed

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Red and green colored sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Combine egg and cream; gradually beat into crumb mixture until a ball forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.

Divide dough into three portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with colored sugar. Cut into 8-in.-long x 1/4-in.-wide strips. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; form into bows.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 6 dozen.
