DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture until everything is well blended. Drop cookie dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The tops of the cookies should spring back to the touch like a cake. Cool on wire racks before frosting.

Try topping these cookies with Decorator Frosting .

These cookies were like the kind the area supermarket sells during holidays. I made them with the frosting for my 5 year old, and she LOVED them. My husband didn't care too much for them, he said they were too cake-like. After seeing how large they became after the first pan, I made them a little smaller after that and total I made 60 cookies. The second time I make these I used green food coloring for the frosting for Christmas. I would not recommend making these without the frosting. This may sound crazy but they taste better the day after making them. Yummmy...Thanks for sharing!!!

I was looking for the appearance and flavor of the Uncle Seth big soft sugar cookies with pink frosting that are sold at the coffee bars & malls around here. The cookie dough is too soft to form a cookie in the perfectly round shape of Uncle Seth's, but the taste is close and still very good! I used the Decorator Frosting recommmended, adding a little "sand" from crushed candy canes I had on hand for a touch of peppermint flavor. Thanks for the recipe, Lisa!
