Ingredients
1.5 c butter, softened2 c white sugar (I replace .5 cup with brown sugar)4 eggs2 tsp. vanilla5 cups flour2 tsp. baking powder1 tsp. salt(optional) dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerpowdered sugar for rolling out the doughFROSTINGpowdered sugarfood coloringwater(opt) extract, flavoring
1.) Cream butter and sugar until smooth, beat in eggs and vanilla. (I do this with a mixer.)
2.) In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Then add to wet mixture by cupfuls. Stir until blended. (I do this by hand to avoid flour explosions.)
3.) Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
4.) Roll dough in powdered sugar to about 1/4 inch thick. (The thickness of your dough will determine how many cookies you get out of the whole thing. I tend to roll mine thinner than I mean to.) Cut shapes and place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
5.) Bake 6-8 minutes then cool completely.
6.) For frosting, I use powdered sugar,water and food coloring to make my frosting, although I know many people make royal icing, instead. The flavor isn't awesome on either one, in my opinion, but you could add any extract to the powdered sugar as long as your aren't planning on keeping it white! You just have to play around with the amounts until you get a good consistency for piping the edges and flooding the middle.
