You Will Need
  • 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


1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until easy to handle.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1⁄8-in. thickness. Cut with a football-shaped cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and enough hot water to achieve spreading consistency; beat until smooth. Place 3 tablespoons glaze in a small bowl; set aside. Add cocoa to remaining glaze; stir until smooth. Spread brown glaze over cookies. Pipe white glaze onto cookies to form football laces. Yield: 41⁄2 dozen.
