Ingredients:

All-purpose flour
1 package (16.5 ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Bar Dough
3-inch alphabet cookie cutters
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup NESTLÉ NESQUIK Strawberry Flavor Syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Small tubes decorator icing
Decorator candies

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 325° F.

SPRINKLE flour over cutting board or kitchen work surface. Break off two rows of cookie dough. Roll out dough to about 1/8-inch thickness, using additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Press cookie cutters into dough and transfer letters to ungreased baking sheets with spatula.

BAKE for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

COMBINE sugar, Nesquik and water in medium bowl; beat with whisk or hand-held mixer until smooth. Spread icing over cookies. Allow icing to dry before adding any additional decorations.

This recipe is great for my young bakers. They have a great time creating their favorite letters and the time it takes them to create and decorate their masterpieces, allows me to complete our nightly meal and have it on the table in no time.
