Sugar Cookies


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

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in eggs and flavoring.  Sift together dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture.  Chill at least 1 hour.  Roll out 1/8 inch think.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes.   Makes 2 dozen.

Tip: I always pull them out at no longer than 8 minutes--even if they look a little undone.  Then I leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and they are firm but so soft and light.  I also add about 2-3 tsp of almond extract to my frosting (like my mom does) and it is the secret ingredient that makes them amazing!
