Time 27m

Yield 3 dozen, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon softened margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
splash of milk to moisten the powdered sugar. can slowly add a little more milk to make the frosting powdered sugar
food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
  • Beat well with an electric mixer.
  • Add the flour.
  • Mix gently with a spoon until well blended.
  • Cover and put in the refrigerator.
  • Chill well.
  • Roll the dough out on a flat, floured surface.
  • Do not roll the dough out too thin or too thick. I usually roll it out to about a 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut your cookies out and put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • **Note** do not overbake. I usually take them out of the over when the bottom of the cookies are slightly brown.
  • Let cool in a single layer on wax paper.
  • When they are cool, frost and decorate with colored sugars.

I've tried this recipe several times and it always turns out great. I love that I can make it ahead of time and freeze the dough.

These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too dry and the cookies came out flat and hard.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, but these were actually really good. The dough was soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips were nice and melty.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

My family loved these cookies! They were soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again for Christmas next year.
