I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Directions
• ● In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
• ● Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
• ● Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• ● Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• ● Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• ● Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
