Recipe: Best Ever Butter Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting Ingredients
----------------------------
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Combine 1 cup butter, sugar and
egg in large mixer bowl. Beat at
medium speed, scraping bowl often,
until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add
flour, orange juice, vanilla and
baking powder. Reduce speed to
low; beat until well mixed (1 to 2
minutes). Divide dough into
thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap.
Refrigerate until firm (2 to 3
hours).
Heat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough
on lightly floured surface,
one-third at a time (keeping
remaining dough refrigerated), to
1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut
with 2-inch cookie cutters. Place
1 inch apart on ungreased cookie
sheets. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes
or until edges are lightly
browned. Cool completely. Combine
powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and
1 teaspoon vanilla in small mixer
bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping
bowl often and adding enough milk
for desired spreading consistency.
Tint frosting with food color, if
desired. Frost and decorate cooled
cookies as desired.
Yield: 3 dozen.
