Frosted Sugar Cookies

3¼ cups flour

1½ cups sugar

⅔ cup butter, room temperature

2 eggs

2½ teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

Frosting

2 large egg whites

2 teaspoons lemon juice

3 cups powdered sugar

Combine flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, milk, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl; beat until well incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Roll dough into ball, wrap with wax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour a work surface.

Divide dough in half and return half to refrigerator. Roll out dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut out with cookie cutters and place on cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake about 7 minutes or until bottom is lightly brown.

For frosting: Whisk together egg whites and lemon juice in bowl. Add powdered sugar and stir to incorporate. Spread onto cooled cookies.
