Pink Icing Cookies

My granny's cake-like sugar cookies taste best with pink icing...although she did use other colors.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 eggs
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.

Step 2

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The tops of the cookies should spring back to the touch like a cake. Cool on wire racks before frosting.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together just until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture until everything is well blended. Drop cookie dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
