Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Frosting image

These cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They are simple to make and kids love to lick the frosting off the tops. Butter flavoring is in the buttercream for added flavor. You can find it in most supermarkets, in the baking aisle, where there are other flavorings such as vanilla.

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly. They ended up being a bit thick.
