Grandma's Sugar Cookies

So.. I have been craving my grandma's sugar cookies for about a month now.

So, tonight, I finally made them.

Here is the recipe and how to make them yourself. 

They are SO good. For Reals!

Everyone I know who had tried them, has loved them.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cup Butter                      1 tsp Lemon Extract

2 1/4 Cup Sugar                       5 Cups Flour

4 Eggs                            2 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Vanilla                                       2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Almond Extract

Step 1:

Mix together dry ingredients. (Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt)

Step 2:

Mix together all other ingredients. (Butter, Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, and Extracts)

Step 3:

Mix dry ingredients with the other ingredients. It should make a soft dough

Step 4:

Cover and let chill for at least an hour. I snacked on some dough while waiting. ;)

Step 5:

Roll dough out and cut out shapes. 

Bake at 400 degrees. 6 minutes for thin cookies, 8-10 for thicker cookies.

I cooked mine 6 and it seemed plenty.

Step 6:

Make homemade frosting. You have to have homemade frosting with

homemade cookies. 

Frosting Ingredients

This recipe makes a ton of cookies. So you'll need a lot of frosting.

1 stick butter

1 lb of powdered sugar

Dash of Vanilla

A splash of milk.

The milk you have to be careful with because a little bit goes a long way. It's mostly eyeballing it.

Step 7:

I wanted to use colors. So I separated some of the frosting into separate bowls and

 added 3 drops of food coloring.

Step 8:

Frost your cookies! I used a plastic bag with the corner cut out to get finer lines.

You're Done! Enjoy!
