Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup melted butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 5 1/2-6 cups flour (sifted-spoon into your measuring cup)*
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt or real salt
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3-4 Tbsp milk or Kefir
• 1 package of Cream Cheese (8oz)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the butter, sugar, milk, eggs, and lemon juice together with a whisk or beaters. Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Cover and put in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. (This helps the cookies keep their shape once you cut them out.) Roll out cookies to 1/4 thick and cut out with desired shape. Bake on parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet for 6-10 minutes. (6-7 minutes if you like them softer-6 minutes for thinner cookies, 7 minutes for thicker cookies-or 8-10 minutes for more firm cookies.) Allow cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack or parchment paper. Frost cookies when cooled. For the frosting, mix all the ingredients together for which ever frosting you choose (the Buttercream or the Cream Cheese).
