Sugar Cookies

3 cups butter
27 oz sugar
3 eggs
2 egg yolk
1 cup & 2 TBS milk
3 tsp vanilla
27.5 oz flour (2x)
6 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Beat butter and sugar in bowl. Add in eggs, milk, vanilla, till blended. Add 1st 27.5 oz of flour and baking powder and salt. Mix. Add second 27.5 oz of flour. Mix. It will be sticky but don't add any extra flour(trust me it's perfect as is). Divide dough in 4 and Wrap in plastic wrap and Refrigerate.

Refrigerate till hard and cool. Set out to thaw before rolling. Use about 1/4 cup flour per dough pack as you roll out the dough. Use enough flour so it's just barely not sticky. Use cookie cutter for desired shape. Bake 280 for 16- 20 minutes or until bottom of cookie is cooked through. Bake time totally depends on size of cookie so just keep an eye on them.

Frosting:
1.5 cup butter
32 oz cream cheese
6 tsp vanilla
64 oz  powdered sugar

Beat butter on high till sticks to side of bowl, add cream cheese, beat till sticks to sides. Scrap sides of bowl, add vanilla. Add powdered sugar. Once mixed beat on high for 2 minutes.
