SOFT SUGAR COOKIES - THE BEST!!!

Cookie Dough
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. lemon or almond extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
3 cups all purpose flour

Frosting – (this is an excellent frosting. Don’t save time and use a can of frosting! Trust me!
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cups butter, softened
½ Tsp. vanilla (I like imitation)
1 to 2 Tbs. half & half or milk
Food coloring

Preheat 350 oven. Combine cookie dough ingredients in order, mixing after each. Refrigerate, roll and cut into desired shapes. Bake 6 to 11 min. depending on sizes. Cookies should be soft but fully cooked. Catch them just before they brown. Frost when cooled.

(I love red-hots baked onto these cookies or shake colored sprinkles on top if you run out of time to frost them.)
