Betty Crocker'S Sugar Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
colored sprinkles, for decoration

Preparation

Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
