Sugar Cookies and frosting

These are delicious and easy to make!  Your kids will love helping you make them as well as frost them, or like mine, mostly to just eat them!

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 cup softened butter or margarine

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp almond extract

1 egg

2 1/2 cups flour (may need to add an extra 1/2 cup flour if dough is too sticky)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

Heat oven to 375

Mix powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract and egg.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Divide dough into halves.

Roll each half 3/16 inch thick on a lightly floured board.

Cut into shapes; sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake until edges are light brown, 7-8 minutes.

Makes about 5 dozen (If making them very small.  More likely if they are the size as above, there will be about 2 1/2 dozen.

Frosting:
1 stick softened salted butter
about a half of a bag of powdered sugar
a drop of vanilla
a little milk (a couple Tbs??)

So this is kind of a throw together, not really measured.  Sorry.  Just whip everything together with a beater until smooth.  If too runny, add more powdered sugar.  If too buttery tasting, add more vanilla and powdered sugar.  Good luck!
