The BEST sugar cookies

0 Cream sugar, butter, eggs and flavorings. Add salt, soda and flour, mix well. Roll out 1/4-1/2" thick (no thinner or cookies won't be soft!)I love to roll my dough thicker (1/2" so the cookies are super thick and fluffy). If you don't like them extra thick, 1/4" will be perfect for you. Do not roll the dough thinner than 1/4".  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (don't let them brown or they won't be soft). I pull mine right at 9 minutes. Allow them to set and cool on the tray. 
1 For the frosting, combine all ingredients and mix well until creamy. You can make and freeze these cookies once fully cooled. I like to put them in a gallon ziplock bag and freeze up to 3 months.
