Vanilla Butter Cookies

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree! Yay it's Christmas time.  This week I am trying to get my baking done.  This cookie recipe has been made since I was wee little, my Mom has always made these.  They are different from your typical sugar cookie, but oh so good!

Vanilla Butter Cookies

1 Cup Margarine softened
2/3 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Egg
2 1/2 Cups Flour

Mix the above then refrigerate for 2 hrs.  Then on lightly floured board roll dough 1/4 inch thick.  Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.  Bake 325 degrees, 12-15 minutes.  After cooled frost with frosting.

Vanilla Confectioners Sugar Frosting

2 Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 1/2 Tbsp Water

Cream then frost.

Enjoy!
