What to do with leftover buttercream icing...Why make some cookies to top with it, of course! Usually the balls of dough would be rolled in sugar before pressing, but since I planned to ice them, I left that step out.

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Cream the wet ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients and mix them with the wet mixture. Roll into one inch balls and flatten with the bottom of a glass. Bake at 350' for 10-12 minutes.
