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.)
