Cookie Periodic Table aka. "The Periodic Table of Aliments"

Step 2 Mix the dough, store and chill

This project requires 110 cookies but the quantities will vary a little depending on how precise you are with the cookie rolling and cutting stage and how many mistakes you make. The following is the recipe for ONE batch. I made 7x the recipe and had some extra. When making the dough, mix it in double batches; if you more than double the recipe it will be hard to evenly distribute everything.

Sugar Cookie Recipe:

1 cup butter
1.5 cups confectioners sugar
1 eggs
2.5 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
Pinch of salt

• Cream salt, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and almond together
• Add egg and mix
• Sift in baking soda, cream de tartar, and flour, mix

Once the dough is made it will need to be chilled for 4-5 hours (or preferably over night) before it's ready to be worked with. This both provides time for the egg to be absorbed into the flour and for the dough to get nice and cold so it won't stick to everything.
