[Basic Butter Cookie Recipes]

3/4 cup soft unsalted butter
1/2 cup
2 eggs
1 t pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
food coloring and confectioners' sugar

[how to make]

*Cream the butter and sugar together until pale, then beat in the eggs and vanilla. *In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
*Add these dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture and combine gently but surely.
*If you need to add more flour, do so sparingly as too much will make the dough tough.
*Halve the dough, form into two fat discs, wrap each half in plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

*Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

*Sprinkle a suitable surface with flour, place a disc of dough on it, sprinkle a little more flour on top, then roll it out to a thickness of about a quarter of an inch.
*Cut into shapes, dipping the cutter into flour as you go, and place the cut-out cookies a little apart on the baking sheets.
*Bake for 8~12 minutes, by which time they will be lightly golden around the edges. *Remove to a rack, and continue with the rest of the dough.
*When they are fully fooled, you can get on with the icing.
*Put a couple of tablespoons of not-quite boiling water into a large bowl, add the sifted confectioners' sugar and mix together, adding more water as you need to form a thick paste.
*Color and decorate as desired.
