Sugar Cookies with Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting


Delicious!

1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp. almond extract (or vanilla)
2 cups flour

For the frosting:
4 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. margarine
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. frozen raspberries

Mix all the ingredients well then stir in 2 cups flour. 
If the dough seems too sticky to roll out, add more
flour until it is the right consistency. Dust a large
surface with a little flour and roll the dough out to
about 1/8 inch thickness. You don't want to roll it
out too thin! Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter
and place them on an un-greased cookie sheet,
then roll out the extra dough and cut shapes again. 
Bake at 375 for 11 minutes (you don't want to
overcook these). This only made about 15 large
cookies, double the recipe if you want more.

The Frosting:
Mix well. If it is too runny, add more powdered
sugar to get the right consistency.
