mmmm....cookies

**fyi-this is a cookie, not a cupcake like Brent thought**

I made cookies the other day and the are delish. I think they taste like the big fat cookies with lots of pink (or whatever color the holiday is) frosting. Yummy, yummy, yummy!! I had to wait a day to taste them, but now I need to get them out of my sight or I will eat them all. I had to wait to taste them because I have a really hard time eating anything immediately after I have spent time baking it. Strange, I know.

Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup confectioners sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Direcions:
1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely. Heap on the frosting (that's my addition)!
