Ingredients
1/2 cup Butter, (I use unsalted)1 cup Sugar2 Eggs3 cups Flour, white6 tsp Baking Powder1/2 cup Milk (I use 2%) 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract***1/2 - 1 cup Flour for rolling the dough and dusting the cookie cutters.
Directions
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and beat well. Add vanilla to the milk, and the baking powder into the 3 cups of flour. Alternately add the flour and milk until mixed. Separate dough into 2 equal parts and wrap in wax paper. Freeze at least over night or until ready to use.
***************************************
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle working surface with extra flour and allow dough to thaw briefly (enough that it is no longer solid, but still stiff) before rolling. Roll 1/4 inch thick adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut with well floured cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just start to brown. Cool on brown paper (cut open paper bags) or parchment paper**.
