In a large mixing bowl cream the butter with sugar and vanilla until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Step 3

Step 5
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle.
Step 6
Lightly flour a work surface.
Step 7
Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness
Step 8
Using cookie cutters dipped in flour cut into desired shapes.
Step 9
Carefully using a spatula lift the cookies onto prepared cookie sheet about 2-inches apart, then bake for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm.
Step 10
Remove to wire racks and cool.
Step 11
For icing; in a bowl combine all icing ingredients until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a heavy small plastic bag, then cut a small hole in a corner of the bag. Pipe the icing around the edges of the cookies or as desired (the icing will harden upon standing).
