L.O.V.E

I FINALLY found a sugar cookie recipe that I absolutely LOVE. These are just regular frosting with an amaretto frosting. They turned out really adorable. But if i were to do them again I would have cut them a little thicker. Here is the cookie recipe,

2 Cups of Butter, softened
2-1/3 Cups sugar
6 Egg yolks
4 Whole eggs
7 Cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Start off by mixing the butter and sugar until fluffy. (My little brother was helping me make these cookies and asked how you know when the mixture is "Light and Fluffy" this is when the mixture looks almost like frosting and is able to mix easily, for everyone that has ever been confused at this step)  Then add the eggs slowly as you continue beating the mixture. mix in vanilla. Add all dry ingredients and stir SLOWLY this is a lot of flour and it will fly out the sides of your mixer if your not careful (which im sure we have all found out the hard way.) when your dough starts actually looking like sugar dough cover in plastic and refridgerate for an hour. I know I claim to not follow this particular part in recipes but this is the first tip my grandma taught me and it really does make all the difference when your rolling out your dough. When your dough has chilled roll about 1/3 of an inch thick and pick your cute little shape to cut out. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes. And frost with whatever frosting you can come up with. I cant give out frosting recipes unfortunately. Enjoy!
