Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour or overnight. Preheat oven to 400°. Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4" thick. Cut into shapes. Place cookies 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes until just starting to turn light brown.

Beat ingredients for royal icing together. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar or a little milk.
