Ingredients
-
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, cream together sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and egg.
Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup, level off. Add the flour, baking powder and salt to creamed mix, mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
On lightly floured surface, roll out 1/3 of the dough at a time to approximately 1/8 inch thickness (I don't whip out a measuring tape at this point--just an estimation--eyeball to the thickness that you prefer.).
Cut with desired cookie cutters.
Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate as desired.
Bake at 400 degrees 5-9 minutes until edges are very light golden. (In my oven, this takes about 6 minutes.) Be careful not to overbake (if you like soft cookies, as I do.).
Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
