Sarah's Sugar Cookies!

Sarah's Sugar Cookies

Moist sugar cookies that are easy to make with a simply delightful frosting. 

This recipe makes 4 dozen cookies:

2 3/4 cups Flour

A dash of Salt

1 tsp Baking Soda 

1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 cups Sugar

1 cup Softened Butter 

1 Egg

1 tsp Vanilla Extract, or if you want to have a little fun, any other extract

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 

In a small bowl, combine the Flour, Salt, Baking Soda and Baking Powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the Butter and Sugar until smooth. Beat in the Egg and Vanilla.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until everything is mixed.

I divided the dough into 4 equal balls, then rolled each one into a log that I cut 12 equal pieces from.
I then rolled them into balls and placed onto a cookie sheet (I use parchment paper instead of spray).

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool and then frost.

Creamy Butter Frosting 

1/3 cup Butter 

1/4 tsp Salt 

1 tsp Vanilla (or any Extract)

1 pound (3 1/2 cups) Powdered Sugar 

3-4 Tbs Milk or Cream 

Cream the Butter, Salt and Vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the Powdered Sugar. After all of the Sugar is added, mix in the Milk (or Cream) 1 Tbs at a time until you have reached the consistency that you want.
You can also add food coloring for decorations if you want.
