Watercolor Sugar Cookies can be made for any holiday, but I like them best for Easter. Easter Egg Cookies and Bunny Cookies are just so pretty with the soft glow of watercolor!
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs, continue to beat. Add vanilla through salt and blend.
Refrigerate for a minimum of an hour.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Divide dough into fourths and roll out on a lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shapes. Bake on a cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
For cookie icing, blend both ingredients in a small bowl. Add a little more or less milk and powdered sugar until you get the desired consistency.
