Sugar Cookies


2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter ( I use Land O Lakes unsalted)

2 eggs beaten

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tbs milk


*Preheat oven to 375 degrees* Blend butter till creamy, add sugar slowly till well incorporated. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla till blended. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Add to wet ingredients until dough forms. Roll out on floured cutting board and cut into your favorite shapes. Bake till barely brown on edges, remove from baking sheet and allow to cool. I make Christmas, Valentine, and Easter shapes. You can also use small amount of food coloring to dye the dough for something different, like making red valentine cookies and decorating the tops of hot cookies with red sugar crystals. You can also make confectioners icing and dye it to decorate the cookies with. Or what the heck, just add sugar to the tops of them and call it quits. :) Anyway, hope ya like them if ya try them....*Enjoy!*
