Directions:
Cream butter and sugar together. Add milk, vanilla and eggs. Beat well. Add half of flour and mix well. Add rest of flour, mix and place in refrigerator over night if possible (can be baked at once). Roll into 1/4" thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Maybe sprinkled with sugar or colored sugar to make sugar cookies. Bake @ 350º until edges are light brown. Do not overcook.

These cookies are great with a thin icing for showers. They stay nice and soft if not overcooked.
