It's not hard to beat a good sugar cookie, especially when it's frosted, decorated, and packaged for fun.
I made my favorite sugar cookies (recipe below) and frosted them using the all new icing glaze I came across. Love that icing. Best thing since sliced bread.
Classic Sugar Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
2 3/4 cups sifted flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash salt
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until fluffy.
Add vanilla, sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate. (Dough can be refrigerated for several days.)
When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350°.
Roll small pieces of dough into balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or until cookies are just beginning to brown on the edges.
Cool on pan for a minute or two, then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Now comes the fun part: decorating them with the magical cookie glaze.
