Lofthouse-ish Sugar Cookies

For the cookies, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and milk. Stir in remaining ingredients (it may take a few minutes to incorporate everything). Dough will be very sticky and soft. Place on a well-floured surface (dusted with about 1 cup flour), and knead flour into a dough until pliable. Roll out to about ⅓ inch thick. Cut into shapes and place on cookie sheets.

Bake in a 325ºF oven for about 10 minutes. Cool and frost.

For the frosting, beat butter with powdered sugar, corn syrup and milk. Add more milk if necessary to get to desired consistency. I have to double this frosting recipe for the sugar cookie recipe above. Enjoy!
