Answers:
TEA CAKES (ICED SUGAR COOKIES)

1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
4 to 5 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar; blend in eggs. Combine rest of ingredients with mixer in large bowl. Roll onto floured surface 1/8 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutter. Bake on ungreased sheet at 375 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. These are super simple. The thicker you roll them out, the chewier they are. The thinner ones are crispy. Also don't overbake.
Take them out just as they begin to brown; they may not even look done, but overbaking makes them tough. More flour may be needed depending on humidity, etc. to make dough of rolling consistency.


ICING:

1 box powdered sugar
1 stick butter
Add buttermilk until desired consistency
Food coloring, optional

INGREDIENTS
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
assorted food coloring
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush.

I remember at parties having something similar - the hard icing was in different colours with I think white designs on them? They were called Playbox Biscuits I think. I haven't seen them anywhere in years though!

Wal Mart and Kroger sell them in the South.
