Not for the (physically) faint of heart

Here is a delicious family recipe for BUTTER COOKIES.  Despite my nutrition degree background, I can't really think of a good way to make these healthier (named after their key ingredient- butter), so eat sparingly, and enjoy!

2/3 C sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients, bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes

Icing:
16 oz powdered sugar
6 Tbsp butter softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 tsp salt
3-4 Tbsp half and half
Combine all ingredients, use food coloring if desired.



I made these fall shaped cookies last night.  Sorry for the bad picture quality, it is dark in my kitchen!
