Submitted by Patti Wilson Preheat oven to 400º 2 cups butter, softened 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 4 TBSP milk 2 TBSP vanilla
Mix well, then add; 5 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder
Mix well and chill for about a half hour.
On lightly foured surface, roll out dough to approximately 1/4" thickness.
Cut with cookie cutters. Place 1" apart on cookie sheets. Bake at 400º 16-10 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Cool completely. Decorate.
Note: I use canned vanilla frosting tinted to whatever color(s) needed and all different kinds of "sprinkles"
I don't just make these on holidays, I also have made "sunshines", little "feet and hands", all different shapes for all different occasions.
