Sugar Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. butter or shortening
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 to 3 c. flour
2 to 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Combine first three ingredients until creamed (best if mixer is used).
Add sifted flour and sifted baking powder with salt to creamed mixture.
(I refrigerate a few hours or few days.)
Take out and roll on floured pastry cloth.
Cut into desired shapes and bake on 350\u00b0 until very lightly browned on bottom, 5-7 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
