2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilaa extract
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 quart vanilla ice cream
red, white and blue sprinkles
With an electric mixer, beat 2 cups sugar and butter until soft and creamy. Beat in milk, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sitr together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture in thirds, mixing well after each addition. Divide dough into fourths, wrap each piece in plastic and chill, at least 2 hours or overnight. Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon; cover and set aside. Preheat oven to 350. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Working with one fourth at a time on a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a little less than 1/4 inch thick. Use a 4-inch, 5-point star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place stars 2 inches apart on cookie sheet; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake until cookies spring back slightly when pressed in center 10 minutes. Cool on pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove cookies to racks to cool completely. Use a scoop of ice cream inbetween 2 cookies, roll in sprinkles on the edges.
