Sugar Cookies
1 Cup unsalted butter- room temp
1 1/2 C granulated sugar
2 tsp Good quality vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 3/4 C sifted flour
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add baking powder and salt, mix well. Add flour and mix until just blended. Dough will look a bit dry and crumbly. Heat oven to 375. Roll out on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4 to 1/3" thick (thicker makes softer cookies). Cut out and place on a baking sheet approx 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes- longer if you like crisp cookies- but we don't at this house. This makes about 3 dozen- depending on the size of cookie and how thick you roll the dough.
These cookies are a bit puffy- so your shapes will be rounded. And we never frost these- but you can if you want. Rumour has it that these cookies didn't ever last past the next town which is 30 min away-
