Ingredients
-
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
4 -5 cups flour
Preparation
-
Cream butter and sugar together until light yellow.
Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
Add baking powder and salt. Stir until mixed.
Add flour one cup at a time until you have a very stiff batter using about four cups of flour. Reserve extra flour for rolling out the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap. I make flat discs to make rolling the dough out easier.
Chill overnight in the refrigerator until firm.
Roll out on a floured surface and cut with cookie cutters.
Bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes until the are just brown at the edges.
Frost with you favorite frosting.
