  • 1 Cup Sugar

  • 2 Eggs

  • 1 Tsp Vanilla

  • 2 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour

  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder

  • 1 Tsp Salt

  • Icing

  • 1 Package Powdered Sugar (2 lbs)

  • Blend in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Roll dough 1/8” thick onto floured surface
  • Cut into desired shapes
  • Place onto ungreased baking sheet
  • Bake about 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned
  • Remove from cookie sheet and let cool
  • Frost with cream cheese frosting and add sprinkles
  • Icing
  • Cream cheese, butter, and egg together.
  • Add powdered sugar until desired consistency
  • Add food coloring if desired (if you want multiple colors, obviously use multiple bowls to mix the colors).
  • Frost your cookies!
  • Put sprinkles on the cookies
  • Eat your cookies and get a stomachache.

Notes

  • Notes: Can use regular hand beaters to make dough (Shan says she never uses a stand mixer). These cookies freeze really well and taste delicious when still a little frozen.

My aunt Shan has known for her delicious sugar cookies. She makes them for special occasions, or for special people. I love these cookies and hope you do too!
