1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp!. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp!. baking powder
1/2 tsp!. baking soda

Cream butter; gradually add sugar, creaming well!. Beat in egg & vanilla!. In a second bowl, combine flour, baking powder, & baking soda; blend this into creamed butter mixture!. If necessary, chill dough until firm enough to roll!.

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough; with cookie cutters cut into desired shapes!. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets and bake at 350F for 7 - 8 minutes!. Cool & decorate with your favorite icing!.

Butter Icing
1/3 cup butter, softened
4 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp!. vanilla extract (or brandy, rum, or maple extract, depending on the flavor you are looking for) food coloring (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl & beat until smooth!. Add more milk or sugar to achieve desired consistency!. This icing goes on anything and freezes very well!.

Variations:

For CHOCOLATE ICING, reduce sugar to 4 cups and add 1/2 cup cocoa!.

For PEANUT BUTTER ICING, substitute 1/3 cup peanut butter for butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For icing use egg yolk and food coloring instead!. Mix one egg yolk per color with enough food coloring to the hue you want, paint on BEFORE baking with clean paint brushes!. Makes a really neat shiny effect!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are called sugar cookies -- your best bet is to just look it up on the internet (google search)!. That way you can choose the one that you want - they are generally the same, some have cool variations!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

an easy icing is powdered sugar and water!. add food coloring for different colors!.

And if you like really soft cookies, replace half the butter with crisco, or any other kind of fat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
