Cream:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
Beat in:1 large egg
1 teaspoon good vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
Gently mix in to creamed mixture until soft ball forms:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dough may be refrigerated at this point or rolled out 1/4 inch thick with rolling surface and pin repeatedly rubbed with sugar (flour may also be used but the cookies will be dryer). Cut into shapes, place on parchment lined cookie sheet and top with decorative sugars or leave plain for frosting after baking. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before removing cookies from cookie sheet.
Alternate: Maple Cookies—Replace white sugar with brown sugar, cut into maple leaf shapes. Make a cookie sandwich by adjoining two leaves downside to downside with regular icing with a small amount of maple flavoring.
