Don't these look yummy?

Christmas Cutout Cookies:

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup butter (only use real butter)

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

2 Tbls milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add. Chill 1 hour. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut into shapes.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes. Don't let them get brown.
Frost when cool.

Frosting: 3 cups powdered sugar creamed with 2 Tbls butter. Add just enough milk and vanilla to achieve a smooth spreading consistency. These cookies freeze well (unfrosted) and you can double or triple the recipe with great results.
