Whitemantle Cookie Recipe

In 2010, the Bella Sara Company produced an official cookie recipe inspired by the horse Whitemantle.

Whitemantle Mountain Cookies
These cookies look like the snow-covered cliffs of Whitemantle -- but taste much better! With a pizza wheel or knife, cut the dough into long, thin triangles to make your cookies look like icicles.

This recipe yields approximately five dozen cookies.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter (soft)

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Whitemantle Icing (see below)

Blue and white candy sprinkles (as desired)

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cover bowl and place in refrigerator for an hour (overnight is better)

Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C).

Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4” to 1/2” thick and cut into triangles with a pizza wheel or a

knife or use a cookie-cutter to form the cookies into a variety of shapes.

Carefully place cookies 1” apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.

Brush on Whitemantle Icing and add candy sprinkles if desired.

Whitemantle Icing
3 cups confectioner’s sugar (sifted)

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Dash of salt

Blue food coloring (as desired)

Directions
Combine sugar, milk, vanilla and salt; mix well.

Add food coloring if desired.

You may wish to divide the icing into several small bowls to create various shades of blue and white. Or slowly stir in the food coloring (without mixing it completely) to yield swirly blue-white icing.
