How to make Easter sugar cookies

Step 1:

Make dough, my fav receipe is :

1/2 cup buter, softened

2/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1 and 2/3 cups flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, b. powder, and salt. Cover. Chill one hour or overnight. This doesn't make many cookies- see step note on Step 4 as to why.

Step: 2

Pre-heat oven 400. Find your kids. They are probably in the bathroom putting socks in the toilet. Prepare for mess. Roll out dough on floured surface and have them cut out Easter shapes with cutters.Step 3:
Put in oven and bake 6-8 min. Watch carefully! Pull up a chair if necessary.

Step 4:
Start decorating! Use sprinkles, frosting, whatever you can find.

Note: your kids are only going to want to decorate 1-2 cookies. Be prepared to do the rest by yourself.

Step 5: Eat cookie. Be sure to get frosting on and around your face.

Step 6: Gain weight. This can vary-depending on how many cookies you consume.

Step 7: Set aside approximately 1-2 hours for clean up.

Step 8:

Repeat step 5.
