Fun Fact about Canada that I just found out...
"Up here" we can legally eat Kinder Surprises whereas "Down there" (USA) they can't! Go Canada!
WARNING! There is nothing healthy about these cookies! (aka the most tasty cookie!)
The Cookies
3/4 c margarine softened at room temp. (actually soften it. This recipe isn't for the 'microwaving' cheaters out there ;) )
1 c white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Cream the margarine and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients. Then, throw it all together!!
Chill for at least 2 hours (this is key for great sugar cookies!! Buuuuuut if you must cheat, this part would be ok to cheat at. As my mom would say "cheater, cheater, pants on fire." Love you mom!)
Roll out the dough onto a floured surface and cut into what ever shape you want.
Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of your cookies).
The Icing
1 kg icing sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
5 tbsp meringue powder
3/4 c warm water
Mix it all together and add more or less icing sugar to get desired consistency. This is a great icing just make sure you let it dry entirely so it hardens up!
