Directions:
Mix thoroughly the margarine, sugar, eggs & vanilla. Blend in flour, baking powder & salt. Cover; chill in fridge at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 400º. Roll out dough 1/4" thick on a floured surface. Cut into desired shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 5-6 minutes. (They're best when slightly underbaked.) When completely cooled, frosten with buttercream frosting: stir together all frosting ingredients. If too thick, add milk, one tablespoon at a time until it's spreadable but not runny. Divide the frosting into several small bowls and add desired food coloring to each.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The secret to the success of these cookies is to roll them out fairly thick, and to underbake them. I usually freeze them after baking, and then we have a decorating party several days later and frosten them. Be creative and have fun! Merry Christmas!
