Classic Sugar Cookies

   Everyone likes a good sugar cookie and this is the recipe we always use.  These turn out really soft and are quite tasty.

Classic Sugar Cookie

                     3 c. flour                               1/2 tsp. salt

                     1 tsp. baking powder            2 sticks butter

                     2 eggs                                   1 1/2 c. sugar

                     2 tsp. vanilla

   Sift the baking powder, salt, and flour together and set aside.  Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy and then beat in the eggs, one at a time.  Now, blend in the flour mixture.  Cover the bowl and put in the refrigerate to chill for a minimum of 2 hours. 

     After the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.   Roll out your dough onto a floured surface about 1/4" thick.  If you roll out the dough too thinly, the cookies will be crisp and not soft.  Cut out cookies with cookie cutters.  Bake for 8 1/2 minutes.  You know they are done when the centers are no longer wet.  Do not overcook.  Decorate or frost as desired.
