Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat
in eggs and extract. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add
to creamed mixture and mix well.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

For icing, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla
and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Dip cookies in
icing; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; decorate as
desired. Let stand until set. Yield: 7 dozen
