This is a soft cake like recipe. I find that you really need something like sour cream, cream cheese or butter milk to make a soft sugar cookie.
Sugar Cookie
4 eggs
3 c sugar
1 c sour cream
1/2 c butter
7 c flour
1 t backing soda
6 t backing powder
2 t vanilla
pinch of salt
mix sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in rest of ingredient's. Sit dough out for an hour. Roll out 1/4 inch on floured surface with a rolling pin. Cut in desired shapes, Bake 375 for 8 min. If the cookie is really small I adjust lower the time baked.
I don't always use this icing but its a good icing if you have to travel with the cookies
Traditionally Meringue Powder Royal Icing is made with egg whites. But I think this is a safer way since the egg whites are uncooked.
1/4 c meringue powder
1/2 c cold water
1 pound powdered sugar
