Directions: |
Directions:Oven to 350º
Let butter sit on counter for about an hour before you begin - cold to touch but can press stick with fingers.
Cream sugar and butter until completely mixed (3 minutes).
Add vanilla and eggs and mix until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Mix in baking powder and then flour 2 cups at a time just until incorporated. Do not overmix dough. It should be firm but not dry.
If dough seems dry, add a little bit of vanilla or milk (start with a teaspoon).
With a hand full of dough, roll out cookies and cut into shapes. (The dough rolls better when not refrigerated.)
Bake 6-10 minutes. Thinner cookies 6-7 minutes. Thicker cookies could be cooked 9-10 minutes.
You do not want them to brown on the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Frost. |
