Ingredients
- 2 c. sugar

- 1 tsp. soda
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

Mix ingredients in order. Add enough flour so that when you touch the dough, your finger isn’t sticky (but no more than that).
-
Roll out dough to between 1/3 and 1/2 inch thick. Place cut-out cookies on greased cookie sheet. The thicker the dough, the softer the cookies will be.
-
Baker at 350 for ~10 minutes. Cool and frost.

Frosting: 2 c. powdered sugar, 1/4 c. melted butter, 2 Tbsp. milk, 1/2 tsp. almond extract, food coloring as desired.
