Title: Sugar Cookies
Categories: Polkadot, Faylen, Cookies
Yield: 1 Servings

3 c Flour
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1 pn Salt
1 c Butter
2 lg Eggs, beaten
1 ts Vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift dry ingredients together. Work
butter into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter until it becomes
coarse grains. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended. You can
use an electric mixer at this point, but it's better if done by hand.
Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut with cookie cutter.
Space cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes and
cool on racks. Cool completely before frosting.

These are the Christmas cookies that my family's sworn by for three
generations. You can fool around with them by adding different
extracts - I've done well with mint extract and almond extract.
