Sugar Cookies

In college, my best friend's mom would send her caramels and frosted sugar cookies in her care packages. I used this as the base for my Easter cookies this year. Gonna go eat some bunny's ass now...


Dough
3/4 c Powdered sugar
3/4 c Granulated sugar
1 c Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Almond extract
1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
1 tsp Baking powder
2 1/2 c All purpose flour

Frosting
1 tsp Melted butter
1 tbs Milk
1/2 tsp Almond extract
1 c Powdered sugar
2-3 drops food coloring

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in wet ingredients and stir in the dry ingredients. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Roll out to about 1/4" thick and cut out cookie shapes.

Bake @ 375˚ for 10-15 minutes

Let cookies cool. Frost.
