Shaped Vanilla Cookies

By: Carole 
"These are soft, cake-like cookies, best with frosting. Roll them out thickly, and bake no more than 8 minutes. They will stay soft, and everyone raves over them. I use them as cutouts for holidays."

Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Cream together the margarine, sugar and eggs. Stir in vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. Roll out (not too thin) and cut into any shape. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
  3. I have used confectioner sugar frosting, or buttercream frosting, or even canned frosting ( if I'm desperate). Enjoy!
