These are THE BEST cut out christmas cookies. They are super soft. Everyone always asks her for the recipe. Ingredients:
2/3 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
8 tablespoons margarine |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon softened margarine |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
splash of milk to moisten the powdered sugar. can slowly add a little more milk to make the frosting powdered sugar |
food coloring (optional) |

3. Add the flour.
4. Mix gently with a spoon until well blended.
5. Cover and put in the refrigerator.
6. Chill well.
7. Roll the dough out on a flat, floured surface.
8. Do not roll the dough out too thin or too thick. I usually roll it out to about a 1/4 inch thick.
9. Cut your cookies out and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
10. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
11. **Note** do not overbake. I usually take them out of the over when the bottom of the cookies are slightly brown.
12. Let cool in a single layer on wax paper.
13. When they are cool, frost and decorate with colored sugars.
