Important Things To Remember:
Tip #1: Safe Handling & Preparation
Clean: Wash Your Hands and Surfaces Often

    Germs that cause food poisoning can survive in many places and spread around your kitchen.
    Wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and water before, during, and after preparing food and before eating.
    Wash your utensils, cutting boards, and countertops with hot, soapy water.
    Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running water.


Tip #2: Keep Your Family Safe
Separate: Don't Cross-Contaminate

    Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs can spread germs to ready-to-eat foods—unless you keep them separate.
        Use separate cutting boards, plates for raw meat, poultry, fish.
        When grocery shopping, keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices away from other foods.
        Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs separate from all other foods in the fridge.


Tip #3: Stay Safe When Baking
Cook: To The Right Temperature

    Food is safely cooked when the internal temperature gets high enough to kill germs that can make you sick. The only way to tell if food is safely cooked is to use a food thermometer. You can’t tell if food is safely cooked by checking its color and texture.
    Use a food thermometer to ensure foods are cooked to a safe internal temperature.

"Sugar Cookies"
Ingredients
    1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (226g)
    1 cup sugar (200g)
    1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract²
    1 large egg
    2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315g)
    ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    ¾ teaspoon salt

Sugar Cookie Frosting

    3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (375g)
    3-4 Tablespoons milk
    2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
    Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until creamy and well-combined.
    Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until completely combined.
    In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
    Gradually add dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
    Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and transfer approximately half of the dough onto the wrap (dough will be quite sticky at this point, that's OK!).
    Cover with clear wrap and mold into a disk.  Repeat with remaining cookie dough in another piece of cling wrap.  Transfer dough to refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours3
    Once dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.
    Generously dust a clean surface with flour and deposit one chilled cookie dough disk onto the surface.  Lightly flour the dough and roll out to ⅛" (for thinner, crispier cookies) or ¼" (for thicker, softer cookies).  Continue to add flour as needed both on top of and beneath the dough so that it doesn't stick.
    Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and use a spatula to transfer shapes to prepared baking sheet.
    Bake on 350F (175C) for 9-10 minutes, or until edges just begin to turn lightly golden brown.
    Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before moving and frosting.

Sugar Cookie Frosting

    Combine sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If frosting is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thick enough. If you accidentally add too much milk, add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.
    If coloring the frosting, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.
    Allow frosting to harden and then you can eat your cookies.
