This is my sister-in-law's recipe that I made for the first time this Valentine's Day, and have since made I don't know how many more batches! It's quite similar (but not identical) to some of the other butter cookie recipes on this website, but I didn't see any others that had a recipe for icing (and I just can't imagine them without)!!

Steps:
- Cream butter or margarine (and yes margarine does work beautifully! I can see some people raising their eyebrows!) with sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.
- At this point you can either roll out and cut with cookie cutters or roll dough into 1 inch balls and flatten on cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375F for 6 to 8 minutes until set, NOT brown.
- Mix icing ingredients together and ice cookies once cooled.
