Amazing Sugar Cookies
½ cup sugar
1 ¼ cup butter or margarine
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
Cream all the wet ingredients together. Mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet.
Roll out the dough on the floured surface and use cookie cutters to make your cut outs. Make sure to flour the cookie cutters.
Bake at 350 for 10 – 15 minutes, watching to see when the cookies get golden.
For the frosting
Use a box of confectioners sugar, couple tablespoons of butter (softened, not melted), and milk
Mix the confectionary sugar and butter together and add a little milk at a time to create the consistency of frosting.
Once the frosting is the consistency you want it, add a dash of vanilla to it.
Add food coloring for holiday colors!
Make the frosting right before it is time to frost. You don’t want to let it sit very long before you actually frost the cookies or your frosting will get hard.
