Little Grandma's Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

Directions

Combine all ingredient and mix and form into dough.

Don’t knead too much, very lightly.

Can chill a couple of hours or so.

Roll out on floured board to about ⅛ inch; to ¼ inch and cut out and bake on ungreased sheets.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F until very light brown on bottom, 6 to 8 minutes.

Can sugar the top of the dough and roll it in, or frost with cooked icing.

ICING: Combine icing ingredients, just enough light cream to make it creamy, add desired food colouring if needed, and cook to a soft ball stage.

Remove from heat and stir until it begins to thicken.

Spread quickly on cookies.
