Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- ¾ cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract real
- 2 egg
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the Frosting:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla real
- 1 tick butter real
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cream or whole milk
Instructions
- Cream margarine and sugar well.
- Add vanilla and eggs; combine well.
- In separate bowl, sift the baking powder, salt and flour. Add to wet ingredients slowly until thoroughly combined.
- Cookie dough must be chilled until firm, or overnight.
- Remove dough from fridge and roll out to a 1/4-inch thickness.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- With cookie cutters or rim of drinking glass, cut out cookies.
- Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, depending on oven. Check often to prevent over cooking or burning. Cool on baking rack when done.
- Meanwhile, prepare frosting - it's a MUST for these cookies! (go all the way or not at all)
- Cream butter, milk and vanilla together.
- Slowly add powdered sugar to butter until desired consistency. If you'd like, add liquid food coloring for festive cookies. Note: I had some trouble with the icing and needed to add a little more milk to thin it out and make it spreadable, but I may have done something wrong ;-)
- When cookies are cooled, slather this heavenly frosting. For more texture and color, press the top of the cookie in sprinkles, colored sugar or just eat plain!
