Sugar Cookies and Icing



These are some great cookies that I made today for the first time. I did them for Valentine's day but they are clearly wonderful for anytime of the year.

Sugar Cookies
1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1.5 tablespoon milk
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash or two of vanilla and cinnamon

In Mixer mix butter, sugar, milk, egg.
Once well blended add flour, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon.
If mixture looks too dry add a bit more of milk and vanilla.

Once mixture is fully mixed spoon onto cooking sheet. 
Bake at 350 for about 8-10 min or until golden brown around edges.
Makes about 20-24.

Once fully cooled add icing.

Icing
2.5-3 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons of milk
Vanilla
Dash of Salt

Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl. 
The icing should have a smooth and not too thick texture.

Once mixed Ice away!!
I like to add sprinkles.
You can always add food coloring to add color to your cookies.

Bon Appetite!
