Add the flour, beating until smooth. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour, or overnight.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Scoop the dough into 2 teaspoon-size balls; a teaspoon cookie scoop works perfectly here. Roll the balls into logs about 4 inches long and about 1\/2 inch in diameter. Coil into doughnut shapes, leaving a small hole in the middle.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Place the shaped cookies on lightly greased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Bake<\/strong> them in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven for about 18 minutes. They may have the merest hint of golden color on top, but they won&#8217;t be brown. Remove them from the oven, and transfer them to a rack to cool completely before icing.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><strong>Icing for the cookies:<\/strong> Put 1\/4 cup of confectioners&#8217; sugar into each of the four bowls. Add 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of corn syrup to each bowl. Stir until you&#8217;ve made a soft, spreadable icing, adding more milk if necessary. Tint the icing in each bowl a different color. Dip the top of each cookie in one of the icings. Sprinkle with sugar decorations. Allow the frosting to harden before storing the cookies. <em>Yield: 3 1\/2 dozen cookies.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want a little chocolate in your diet try this recipe: <a title=\"Dark Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/dark-chocolate-strawberry-shortcake\/\">Dark Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes<\/a> or <a title=\"Easter and Colored Eggs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/easter-and-colored-eggs\/\">Easter and Colored Eggs.<\/a><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is here and Easter is around the corner these  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[530,533],"class_list":["post-1944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrations","tag-easter","tag-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1944"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5651,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944\/revisions\/5651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
