Judys Foodies Sugar Cookies!

These are not just a pretty cookie! These are delicious, loaded with butter & vanilla & the butter cream frosting tips them right over the top in goodness! 

6 cups Flour
1 TSP Baking Soda
1 TSP Baking Powder
1/2 TSP Salt
1 Cup Butter ( softened)
2 Cups Sugar
3 Large eggs
2 TSP Vanilla
1 & 1/2 Cups Yogurt ( plain)
Stir all the dry ingredients minus the sugar together. Beat Butter, add sugar & beat again. Add eggs & beat. Add vanilla & yogurt & beat once more. Slowly add the dry beating together until combined. Chill dough at least 2 hours. Take out about 1 & 1/2 cups of dough at a time & roll out on a lightly floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes & place on parchment covered cookie sheets. Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 6 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned. Remove from sheets & let cool. Frost with the following frosting & decorate with sprinkles or sanding sugar. tint frosting if desired. We used some red & green for contrast! This makes 5 dozen cookies.

FROSTING:
5 TBS softened butter
2 TSP Vanilla
5 Cups Powdered Sugar
Dash of Salt
1/4 to 1/2 Cup of 1/2 & 1/2 Cream

Beat butter add 1/2 the sugar, salt & vanilla & 2 TBS cream. Beat . add more sugar & cream until all of the sugar is used & adding as much or as little of the cream you need to get a nice spreadable frosting. Frosting with crust over after cookies are decorated so they will store nicely. Tint about 1 cup of the frosting for each color you use. A few drops of food coloring will do the trick.   Have fun decorating!
