Sugar Cookies


Well, it is still February so I decided to post my favorite Valentine's Day treat--sugar cookies! This recipe is my Aunt's and I love it because the cookies seriously stay soft for forever, and there is nothing worse than a hard sugar cookie. Am I right?

1 c. butter or margarine
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. milk
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
2 tsp. baking powder
5 1/2 c. flour

Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon extract and milk. Add dry ingredients until all is well blended. Chill dough. Roll out and cut into desired shapes. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely and frost. I like to use cream cheese frosting but you can obviously use whatever kind you want.
