ANN CLARK COOKIE CUTTER COMPANY RECIPE FOR SUGAR COOKIES
Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Chill dough 3-4 hours before rolling, so the dough is easy to roll, and won't spread during baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out on a lightly floured counter to 1/4" thick and cut with your favorite Ann Clark cookie cutters, then transfer cookies onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. Bake about 8-10 minutes or until lightly colored. Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.Decorate with Royal Icing - see below - or buttercream, or eat plain. Enjoy!

ANN CLARK ROYAL ICING RECIPE
This recipe, which uses pasteurized egg whites, is the one I use most often now. I find that buying egg whites is convenient, prevents wasting yolks, solves many food-safety issues and it tastes much better than a royal icing made with meringue powder. The lemon juice in this recipe does not add a strong lemon flavor, but it does mitigate the sweetness of the confectioners' sugar.
PREP:
20 minutes
TOTAL:
20 minutes
YIELD:
Makes about 2 Cups
INGREDIENTS:
6 tablespoons Pasteurized Egg Whites
2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
4 cups Confectioner's Sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Mix egg whites, lemon juice, and salt with electric mixer (use paddle attachment if using a stand mixer). Add sugar and beat on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until smooth and thick. Adjust consistency with water, if necessary. Keep covered when not in use. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy! SCROLL DOWN FOR SPECIAL COUPON CODES!

AUGUST 8 is Global Sleep Under the Stars Night and is a night to spend outdoors enjoying the sensational night sky. With summer coming to an end, take advantage of all the night has to offer by gazing upwards and see the wonder of stars across the sky. Whether it’s in the backcountry or your own backyard, one of the best ways to experience the beauty of the outdoors is to spend a night under the stars. Gazing up at the night sky gives us a sense of peace and, at the same time, an overwhelming sense of awe.
