Mama G's Butter Cookies

From your Grandma G. These cookies are legendary! They were the table favors at our wedding, and I sent batches home with visitors who came to meet you when you were brand new.

3 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. butter
3/4 C. sugar
2 T. heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 egg

Mix all ingredients well. Form into two separate balls of dough, flatten into two disk shapes and wrap both in cellophane and refrigerate for 1 hour. Rollout dough fairly thick, cut into desired shapes, and bake on parchment-lined baking sheets @ 400* for 5-8 minutes.

BonBon Icing

1 C. powdered sugar
2 T. heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Food coloring, if desired

Combine all ingredients. I usually triple or quadruple this recipe for a single batch of cookies.
