Shaped Vanilla Cookies
Description
These are soft, cake-like cookies, best with frosting. Roll them out thickly, and bake no more than 8 minutes. They will stay soft, and everyone raves over them. I use them as cutouts for holidays.
Ingredients
•
1 cup margarine
•
1 cup white sugar

Cream together the margarine, sugar and eggs. Stir in vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt.

I have used confectioner sugar frosting, or buttercream frosting, or even canned frosting ( if I'm desperate). Enjoy!
