COOKIES
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons margarine (I use Light Becel Non-Hydrogenated)
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
ICING
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 3/8 teaspoons skim milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla (additional to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Beat margarine and sugar until well mixed, adding egg white and vanilla as you go.
3
Whisk baking powder, flour, tartar, and salt in another bowl. Mix bit-by-bit into egg mixture, not adding any more if the dough is too thick.
4
Knead dough 3-5 times on heavily floured surface until smooth and at your desired consistency.
5
Roll dough out on the heavily floured surface with a floured rolling pin, and cut shapes out. Place them on a cookie sheet, covered in parchment paper. (Don't sub the parchment paper for oil, butter, or cooking spray. Bottoms will crisp).
6
Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes until tops of cookies have firmed, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't brown (these are best light and soft).
7
Take out of oven and place on cooling rack.
8
While cooling, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until shiny.
9
Add food colouring to icing if you wish, and ice the cookies once they have cooled. ENJOY!
