  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2-2 tbsp milk
  • 3 drops food coloring (optional)

Directions:

  1. Cream butter or margarine (and yes margarine does work beautifully! I can see some people raising their eyebrows!) with sugar.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla and mix.
  3. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.
  4. At this point you can either roll out and cut with cookie cutters or roll dough into 1 inch balls and flatten on cookie sheet.
  5. Bake at 375F for 6 to 8 minutes until set, NOT brown.
  6. Mix icing ingredients together and ice cookies once cooled.
