I got this sugar cookie recipe from my sister. :) These slightly salty cookies, mixed with the super sweet frosting, equal perfection. Try them!! If you feel you have a better recipe, let me know. ;) Makes 2 dozen.
Sugar Cookies
1/3 c butter
1/3 c shortening
1 egg
3/4 c sugar
1/2 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix butter and shortening together with hand or electric mixer. Add eggs, sugar, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla; mix. Blend flour in slowly.
3. Roll dough flat on floured surface, patting flour on rolling pin and sprinkling flour on top of dough so it won't stick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Use flat spatula, dipped in flour, to place on cookie sheets, 1/2" apart.
4. Bake 7-8 minutes, or until still white on top and light brown on bottom edges. Let sit 1 minute, then place on cooling rack or parchment paper. Frost.
Frosting
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp milk
Mix ingredients together. Keep adding milk, 1 Tbsp at a time, until desired consistency. Add food coloring if desired, 1 drop at a time.
