Told Ya I Made Cookies...

So, here are those cookies I claimed to have been making today! I hope my kiddos like them tomorrow, if we even have school!

Fresh out of the oven and they held their shape so nicely!! I hate when they lose their shape and just become plain ol' circles.

And I topped them of with a yummy homemade buttercream frosting!

Here is the recipe for the cookies:

3/4 C butter, softened
1 C white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Watch for the bottom edges to start to brown.

Here is the recipe for the buttercream frosting:

1 1/2 C powdered sugar
3 tblsp butter, softened
1 tblsp vanilla
1 tblsp milk
Any food coloring you prefer.

I use this recipe for my Christmas cookies too and they always turn out great!
