Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.  In large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars, and vanilla.
• Add eggs, and oil and beat well until fluffy.
• Sift together remaining ingredients. Slowly add to sugar mixture while beating. Mix well.
• Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. You may need extra flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden. Remove from cookie sheet onto a cooling rack to cool.
• Repeat with remaining dough. Frost as desired (see recipe below).
• Place butter (or oil), vanilla and powdered sugar in a bowl. Add milk one tbsp at a time, stirring or beating with a mixer constantly until you reach desired consistency. You want it to be pretty thick so that it doesnt run. 
• Add food coloring one drop at a time until you reach the desired color. 
• Frost cookies and let dry before stacking or storing them. If you use sprinkles, do so immediately after adding frosting so that they stick.
• Store in airtight container up to a week.
