(I wrapped my sheet pans up and froze overnight). Freeze the dough for a minimum of 2 hours. Dip cookie cutter in flour, then cut out shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.Put the sheets of dough (and the paper!) on a sheet pan to keep them flat, then freeze for an hour until dough is very firm.(You'll have 3 pieces of dough, you'll need 6 sheets of parchment) Divide the dough into thirds and roll out to 1/4" thickness between 2 sheets of parchment paper.Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the cream, and mix until just combined.Add the eggs and beat on medium speed until incorporated, then add the vanilla and beat until mixture is uniform.In the bowl of a stand mixer, with paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed until fluffy and light in color, about 5 minutes. (If using a hand mixer about 7 - 8 minutes.).Whisk all purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, set aside.They aren’t pretty, but they don’t warp and they last a lifetime. Sheet pans – Invest in heavy duty, commercial baking sheets.It gets a TON of use and is worth every penny. Stand mixer – This is the mixer that I’ve had for almost 10 years.It can deepen the colors of the frosting or just add a little shine or sparkle to give them an extra special look.

Luster dust is an edible food color that comes in powdered form.Avoid liquid food coloring, it won’t give you the same results and it will make the icing runny. Gel food color – This is the brand that I have.Classic Christmas cookie cutter set – metal cutters with comfort grip, 8 different shapes.I preferred baking on this over baking on parchment paper. Silicone baking mat – This yielded the best results.Weighing ingredients is far more accurate than measuring with cups and spoons, and I cannot recommend owning a scale strongly enough.
