I have been afraid to make these cookies for quite some time. I think the reason that my mother is a baker extraordinaire has always sent me running from any type of baking. This recipe came from her and suprisingly it was very easy and pretty fool proof! Alivia had a blast making them and enjoyed sharing them with her cousins who were in town. Lucky for us the recipe only makes about 2 dozen medium sized cookies so they were gone in a couple of days.
Ingredients
1 c. oleo
1 c. sugar
1 egg
2 t. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
3 c. flour
Frosting - Powdered sugar, milk, food coloring
Instructions
Preheat oven 400 degrees. In large bowl cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very stiff, blend last in by hand. Do not chill, divide dough into 2 balls. On a floured surface roll each ball flat. Bake until cookies are slightly brown on edges.
We did a simple frosting for the cookies. I mixed about 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of milk (want slightly runny), and food coloring of color choice. Once I had the frosting the color and consistency that I liked I put into a plastic baggy and snipped the end with scissors to create a frosting bag. It was messy....but fun! Enjoy!!!
