SUGAR COOKIES WITH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They are simple to make and kids love to lick the frosting off the tops. Butter flavoring is in the buttercream for added flavor. You can find it in most supermarkets, in the baking aisle, where there are other flavorings such as vanilla.

SOFT CAKEY SUGAR COOKIES
A lot like the "lofthouse" brand sugar cookies. The cookie is not too sweet, so the frosting can be. You can use any recipe you like for the frosting, or canned if you must.
