To prepare cookies, spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and egg.
Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
Place dough between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Roll dough to a ¼ inch thickness.
Chill 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Cut dough with a 2¼ inch egg-shaped cutter.
Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 375° for 8 minutes or until edges of cookies are browned.
Cool cookies 1 minute on pan.
Remove cookies from parchment; cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, milk, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla; stir until smooth.
Add food coloring, if desired.
Stir well.
