How does bidding on DealDash work?
DealDash is a penny auction site, this means all bidders have to purchase bids in “bid packs” to be eligible to place bids on top items that run nearly 24 hrs/day.
If a user does not win an auction they have an option of using the buy it now option to receive the item and get all of the used bids back into their bidding accounts. Win-Win!
Depending on the competition: Who is bidding, what they’re bidding on, how much they will spend before they quit, etc. you may have to plan on spending hours bidding on one item (if you so choose). Auctions can go on for quite some time, but then there are the ones that just end with 5 bids, so you never know!

Prep:
Total Time:
Yield: Makes 32
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assorted candies, sprinkles, or colored sugars, for decorating (optional)
Directions
In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Divide dough in half; flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic; freeze until firm, at least 20 minutes, or place in a resealable plastic bag, and freeze up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator overnight).
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Remove one dough disk; let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Roll out 1/8 inch thick between two sheets of floured parchment, dusting dough with flour as needed. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. Using a spatula, transfer to prepared baking sheets. (If dough gets soft, chill 10 minutes.) Reroll scraps; cut shapes. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake, rotating halfway through, until edges are golden, 10 to 18 minutes (depending on size). Cool completely on wire racks. To ice cookies, spread with the back of a spoon. Let the icing harden, about 20 minutes. Decorate as desired.
