1 Cup butter, softened
3/4 Cup sugar
1 egg
2 T. milk
1 1/2 tsp. vamilla
3 Cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
FROSTING:
1 Cup confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract (I use almond)
1/4 tsp. salt
1-2 T. milk
Food Coloring
Make extra frosting so you can have plenty of colors to play with.
Cream butter and sugar in mixing bowl. Add egg, milk & vanilla. Combine flour, bk. powder and salt, gradually mix into butter mixture. Form into disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill at least one hour. Can freeze at this point for later use. Preheat oven to 375. Allow to come to room temp., slightly and roll on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thin. Cut with shape of choice. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 5-8 minutes until lightly brown and remove to wire racks to cool. Meanwhile, mix frosting and tint to desired colors. The frosting can be easily drizzled with a toothpick for intricate designs. Colors can also be layered when frosting is allowed to dry and harden.
