One of our family traditions is to make sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. This recipe has been passed down through generations and is such a good one. You really can't go wrong with this recipe. It produces a nice, soft, yummy cookie. Typically I frost them with a butter cream frosting. Today I decided to go with some royal icing. You can make royal icing with egg whites or with meringue powder. Today I opted for the slightly safer meringue powder (you buy it at craft stores) and it turned out great. The recipe I used for royal frosting came from Joy of Baking and you can click HERE to see that recipe. I added some almond extract to mine.
Okay...here's the cookie recipe:
SUGAR COOKIES
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 Cups Flour
1 tsp. Vanilla
Happy Valentine's Day to you! xoxo

The kids and I may just have to make some of these after school as a fun project! They look so nice (with the kids, ours generally don't turn out too professional looking :-)
You have a food blog, too! How fun. Food is the greatest, isn't it? And what a wonderful idea to keep your friends in touch! I'll link to yours from ours.
Kristy, my mouth is watering!
