Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface roll dough to 1/8” thick. Use some form of 3” cookie cutters cut cookies from dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Cookies will look white when done. They typically do not turn golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Frost with buttercream frosting and sprinkles of your choice.

3 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a small mixer bowl cream butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 Tbs of milk. Beat until creamy and thick enough to spread. It may be necessary to add more milk to get the consistency desired. If you prefer, divide frosting among a few bowls and add food coloring. Makes 4 dozen 3-inch cookies.
