Cut Out Cookies
Submitted by Patti Wilson
I don't just make these on holidays, I also have made "sunshines", little "feet and hands", all different shapes for all different occasions.
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 floured 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.
I use canned vanilla frosting tinted to whatever color(s) needed and all different kinds of "sprinkles"
