My granny's cake-like sugar cookies taste best with pink icing...although she did use other colors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together just until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture until everything is well blended. Drop cookie dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The tops of the cookies should spring back to the touch like a cake. Cool on wire racks before frosting.
