Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • GLAZE:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons hot water
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons baking cocoa

Instructions:

  1. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after adding each egg. Add in vanilla and beat well.
  2. In another bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda and add gradually to the other bowl. Cover and chill for three hours or until easy to handle.

  5. To make glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve spreading consistency and beat until smooth. In a small bowl place three tablespoons of and set aside. Add cocoa to remaining glaze and stir until smooth. Spread brown glaze over cookies. Pipe white glaze onto cookies to form football laces. Serves: 27.
