Susan Cookies

I was trying to find a recipe for cookies I had as a child. These come close, but not quite. I'll have to keep trying.


1 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt


Cream butter and sugar together until creamy. Add vanilla. Sift flour and salt together and add to butter mixture. Shape into balls and roll in either chocolate sprinkles or nuts. Put on "thumb print" on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until slightly brown.


Frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbs. hot water
1 tsp vanilla
4 Tbs. cocoa


Cream frosting ingredients together and frost once cookies have cooled. Enjoy!
