Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups Sweet Cream Salted Butter (softened) - leave on counter just under an 1 hour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs - room temperature
2 Tbsp Vanilla extract
4 tsp baking powder
6 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
Directions:
1. Add the 4 sticks (2 cups) of butter and 2 cups of white sugar to your mixer.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until it is completely mixed (3 minutes on medium high)
3. Add 2 Tbsp of vanilla and 2 eggs.
4. Mix the cookie dough until light and fluffy - 3 minutes.
5. Add 4 tsp of baking powder and mix.
6. Mix in the 6 cups of flour two cups at a time. Don't over mix the dough when you are adding the dry ingredients. Mix it only until the flour is incorporated into the dough.
7. After you have added the 6 cups of flour and dough should be firm but not dry or crumbly. If the dough seems to dry, add a tiny bit of vanilla or milk (start with a teaspoon) and mix again.
8. Roll a handful of the dough out on a prepared surface until it's about ⅜ thick.
9. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
10. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees for 6-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookie cutter you used. Do not over-bake! Thick cookies should cook 9-10 minutes. You don't want them to start browning around the edges. Thinner or smaller cookie cutters should bake 6 or 7 minutes.
