List of Ingredients
On a floured surface, roll out a batch of your favorite homemade or storebought sugar cookie dough (it should be thoroughly chilled) to 1/4-inch thickness. Then, use a butter knife to cut out the cookies. Remind your child that giant letters need to be wider than smaller ones to keep them from breaking easily. Bake the cookies according to the recipe directions. (You may have to adjust the baking time, depending on the size of your cookies, but be sure to remove them before the edges brown.) Let them cool on a wire rack. Then, frost with Buttercream Icing and sprinkle a tinted sugar; if desired.
Buttercream Icing
1 1/4 cups sifted sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Beat together the sugar; butter; and vanilla. Add the milk a few drops at a time until the mixture is spreadable. Makes 1 1/2 cups. Recipe
