- 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Turn mixer to low and add in flour, mixing until just combined. Dough should be smooth and soft.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star attachment. Pipe dough onto prepared baking sheet in a circle or rosette shape.
- Place baking sheet in a refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill dough slightly.
