Ingredients

{Sugar Cookies}

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch

{Vanilla Frosting}

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla I like to use clear vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. 
  • Cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  •  Add in the flour, baking powder and corn starch. 
  • Scoop the dough out onto a silicone or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Use the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in sugar to press the cookie dough balls flat. (I give more details on this step in the post above.)
  •  Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until the tops are no longer glossy.
  •  Let the cookies cool on the pan. 
  • To make the frosting, combine all ingredients and mix until well combined. 
  • Frost the cookies when they are still slightly warm. Store in the refrigerator and serve cold.
