3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened (It’s important to use butter, not margarine and to chill the dough.)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix well. Take dough and place 1/3 of it between two pieces of waxed paper. Roll it out to desired thickness and then place it into the refrigerator. Continue with the rest of the dough. Chill dough for 2 hours. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Cut out desired shape with cookie cutter. Reroll left over dough between wax paper. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 35 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until edges begin to turn light brown. Makes 3-4 dozen.
