1 c Butter or margarine 1 ts Vanilla
-softened 2 ts Baking powder
1 c Sugar 3 c Flour
1 lg Egg
Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an
electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add baking powder and
flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will
be very stiff; blend last flour in by hand. Do not chill dough.
Divide dough into 2 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball in a
circle approximately 12″ in diameter and 1/8″ thick. Use cutters as
guide; dough should be only slightly thinner than cutter. Dip
cutters in flour before each use. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie
sheet on top rack of oven for 6 to 7 minutes, or until cookies are
lightly browned.
