TEA CAKES (ICED SUGAR COOKIES)
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
4 to 5 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream together butter and sugar; blend in eggs. Combine rest of
ingredients with mixer in large bowl. Roll onto floured surface 1/8 inch thick.
Cut with cookie cutter. Bake on ungreased sheet at 375 degrees for
approximately 10 minutes. These are super simple. The thicker you roll them
out, the chewier they are. The thinner ones are crispy. Also don't over bake.
Take them out just as they begin to brown; they may not even look done,
but over baking makes them tough. More flour may be needed depending on
humidity, etc. to make dough of rolling consistency.
ICING:
1 box powdered sugar
1 stick butter
Add buttermilk until desired consistency
Food coloring, optional. Enjoy.
