Steps:
- Using an electric mixer, add sugar, margarine, eggs and vanilla; beat on medium speed until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Add dry ingredients to the mixing bowl in several additions, beating after each addition.
- Cover and refrigerate dough for several hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Working on a floured surface, roll dough to about 1/8" thick. Cut cookies into desired shapes. (Note: This dough can be rolled out again and again without getting tough.)
- Bake cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn light brown.
- Sprinkle cookies generously with sugar or decorate as desired.
- Using a medium mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup and vanilla extract; stir until well combined.
- If coloring the frosting, divide frosting into bowls and color at this point.
- Transfer frosting into piping bags fitted with a piping tip or ziptop bags with the corners snipped off.
- Pipe frosting onto cookies and decorate with sprinkles (optional).
- Let cookies stand at room temperature for several hours, or until frosting has hardened.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the dry ingredients together, and set aside. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together 3 to 4 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and mix for about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time Add the vegetable oil and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, a bit at a time, just until combined. Don't over-mix. For best results, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a Silpat). NOTE: The dough will be soft, so a cookie scoop makes the task a lot easier. Otherwise, chill the dough for at least 15 minutes, if you don't have a cookie scoop. I like to use a 2-inch cookie scoop to measure 12 cookies per sheet, spaced about 2" apart. With the flat of your palm (I lightly moistened my hands with water so the dough doesn't stick), gently press the cookie down just enough to flatten it out to be even. Sprinkle sugar on top. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. The cookies should be slightly brown around the edges. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Once the cookies are completely cool, they will be crunchy, with a tender texture on the inside. Yield: 3 dozen cookies. If you make 1-inch cookies, you should have 5 to 6 dozen.
SUGAR COOKIES
This sugar cookie dates back to a Swedish woman born in 1877! Her daughter, Esther Davis, shared the recipe with me and she came up with all the exact measurements, since the original cookies were mixed by feel and taste. These are my favorite cookies and I hope they'll become yours as well. -Helen Wallis, Vancouver, Washington

EASTER SUGAR COOKIES
Cream cheese contributes to the rich taste of these melt-in-your-mouth Easter sugar cookies. They have such nice flavor, you can skip the frosting and sprinkle them with colored sugar for a change. -Julie Brunette, Green Bay, Wisconsin
