Valentines Sugar Cookies

These are the best tasting sugar cookies I have eaten. They are soft and mildly sweet. They are a lot like the ones you can buy at Walmart.
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk
4 tsp. baking powder
6 cups flour
1 tsp. salt

• Cream the butter and the sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Alternate milk and the flour mixture to the batter. Refrigerate before rolling out dough. (I roll out onto parchment paper so I don't have to add more than a sprinkling of extra flour).


• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When cool, ice with your favorite icing and decorations.

Icing

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp. milk

2 tsp. corn syrup

Food coloring of your choice

Mix powdered sugar and milk together, add corn syrup. Stir until smooth. Add food coloring one drop at a time until icing becomes desired color.
