DIRECTIONS
Make Cookies: Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl; set aside.
Beat Blue Bonnet and sugar in large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture while beating on low speed until well blended. Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly flour work surface. Roll out half of the dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with floured cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.
Make Frosting: Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk; mix until smooth and spreadable. Color with food coloring, if desired. Frost cookies; decorate, if desired.
No-Roll Variation: Prepare cookie dough as directed. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (chill dough if too soft to handle). Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten cookies with bottom of glass dipped in flour. Bake at 375°F 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Frost and decorate as desired.
