The instructions I originally found recommended a cookies press, but I prefer the Wilton Sugar Cookie Shapes pans that you can buy at Michael's and Hobby Lobby.
Buttercream Frosting
Beat butter, vanilla, and 2 cups of confectioner's sugar together
Add milk and mix well
Continue adding powdered sugar until your reach the desired consistency.
The final step is to separate and add the food coloring of your choice.
