(by Shirley McNevich)

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Frosting: 1/2 box Domino's powdered sugar (1 lb. size); 1 stick Parkay margarine; 2 tsp imitation vanilla; 1.5 TBSP milk

In a mixer add butter and white sugar--beat. Add eggs--beat. Add vanilla, baking soda and salt--beat. Slowly add flour--beat. Flour your counter, place the batter on top of the flour, and flour the top of the batter--roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/4" thick. Cut batter with cookie cutters. Place cookies on to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove cookies from trays and place on paper towels until they are room temperature. Frosting: feed powdered sugar, margarine, 2 tsp. vanilla and milk in mixer--beat. The longer you beat it the creamier it gets. Use food coloring to make the color you desire. Frost the cookies.
