3 tblsp clarified butter
4 cups water
3 cups potato flakes

Add salt, chives, rosemary, butter and water to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Shot off heat and add flakes. Mix til combined thoroughly.
This recipe I came up with because of the allergy my wife keeps having with milk. You do not need to use calrified butter. You can substitute 1 cup of milk for one cup of water. Put the milk in after the water has boiled and turn off the heat.

Cooking Inn Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter flavor shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon Watkins vanilla (Double this if your using another Vanilla)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream Butter Flavor shortening and sugar in large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine flour with baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Blend into creamed mixture. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.

An option here would be to roll the dough into balls about an inch and roll the balls in sugar. Follow baking instructions below.

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Roll out dough on floured surface to 1/8" thickness or thicker if you prefer. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375°F. for 6-11 minutes. Cool on baking sheets about 1 minute. Remove to cooling racks.
Makes about 2 to 3 dozen cookies.
NOTE: For holidays, cut dough into desired holiday shapes. Sprinkle with colored sugar crystals before baking or omit the sugar and frost with icing.

Icing

3 c powdered sugar
2 1/2 tblsp milk or water
2 tblsp butter or margarine, softened or melted
3/4 tsp Watkins vanilla (1 1/2 tsp other brand vanilla)

Note: I have made this with water and butter. I had better luck with the melted butter. If the icing seems to thick, add milk or water. Mix well, put equal mixtures in bowls and add food coloring if desired. Use right away, this is something that can harden quickly.
Covers about 24 to 30 cookies.
