These might seem a little more on the Valentine-ish side, but I had a need for something lovely, so I decided to give them a try. I made my own cookie recipe (from my mom) and then used THIS frosting recipe from a television program that aired a few months ago. And, lo and behold, it worked! The frosting was simple and tasty, and it was pretty, too!

And of course, my Mom's cookie recipe:
Super Soft Sugar Cookies
2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter
2 eggs
7 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. milk
Cream together the sugar, butter and eggs until fluffy. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients. Add to the creamy mixture alternately with milk and vanilla. Mix until blended, then chill the dough in the refrigerator at least one hour. When ready, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness, cut as desired. Bake at 375 F for 5-10 minutes until lightly browned.
And now, you can watch the segment from the TV show mentioned above,
if you want to, of course:
