Rollout Sugar Cookies

I have made MANY many a sugar cookie and I would have to say these are my hand down favorite. They are not too soft and not to hard. They also taste better after completely cooled (and frosted of course!)

3/4 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 1/2 c. flour

cream butter and sugar. add vanilla and eggs. and dry ingredients gradually.
mixture may be sticky. add a LITTLE more flour if needed. or just refrigerate for an hour or two until dough is stiff enough to work with.
roll out about 1/4 inch thick. cut into shapes. these don't spread very much.
bake at 400 for 6-8 minutes
NOTE!!! These will NOT get brown. maybe a TINY bit golden but if they start to brown they are too done.

This recipe doesn't make much, so If you are making this to give away, you may want to double the recipe. Or triple if you want a lot!
