A bona-fide L*SPACE office obsession, Monica’s sugar cookies (her grandmother’s recipe, natch) are so delicious and highly sought-after that when she brings them in, she places one on each of our desks to make sure that everybody gets one – because just setting down the plate would ensure a free-for-all not dissimilar to the stampede when the doors open at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Enjoy her world-famous recipe, and let us know if you try it out yourselves! 

Cookies

1 cup butter (softened)

3/4 cup powdered sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Thoroughly mis the butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend in flour and baking soda. Cover and refridgerate for 2-3 hours.

Heat oven to 375°. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 3/16″ thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut into desired shapes; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7-8 minutes or until light brown at the edges. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

Frosting

1 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tbsp. milk or half & half

Melt butter and let cool for a few minutes. Add in vanilla and stir in powdered sugar. Add a little milk at a time to make a creamy consistency. Add more powdered sugar if needed. We recommend using food coloring to ice the cookies in your favorite L*SPACE bikini shades…obviously.
