Cut-Out Cookies In A Flower Pot - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups butter, softened
    3 cups white sugar
    4 eggs
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon butter flavored extract
    7 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
    Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well.
    Chill 3-4 hours or overnight before using.
    Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.
    Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes. This dough keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
    Decorate as desired. Display 3-7 cookies in a 6 inch clay pot (depending on size of cookie). Weigh pot down with dried beans and cut a circle of Styrofoam to fit snugly into top. Add ribbons and enjoy.
