Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
5 Tbsp milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cup flour

Mix sugar, butter, egg, soda, milk, vanilla, and salt. Add flour. Chill dough 1-2 hours. Roll out and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Frost when cool (I use the Betty Crocker Frosting recipe). Makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen.

Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 stick margarine or butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp milk

Mix powdered sugar and margarine. Stir in vanilla and milk. Beat until spreadable.
