Sugar Cookies

Mix together flour, soda, and salt and set aside. Cream butter, sugar and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients to the butter mixture. Add more flour if dough is too sticky. Chill. Roll out dough with powdered sugar and flour to about 1/4 in. Cut into shapes. Bake 8 min in 350 degree oven. Do not overcook.

Frosting

1/2 cup butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 package cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 almond extract
dash salt
water as needed for desired consistency

Mix all ingredients and frost cookies! Yum Yum!

*The frosting needs to be refrigerated. So if you frost the cookies you will need to refrigerate them. I ususally frost the cookies as we eat them and keep the frosting in the fridge. I like the frosting gooey anyway and not set.
