No Fail Sugar Cookies

Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 6 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 cream butter and sugar.
• 2 add eggs and vanilla.
• 3 mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture.
• 4 mix well.
• 5 chill for 1 to 2 hours or see hint below.
• 6 roll to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes.
• 7 bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown around the edges.
• 8 hint: rolling out dough without the mess-rather than wait for the dough to chill, take freshly made dough and place a glob between two sheets of parchment paper.
• 9 roll it out to the desired thickness then place the dough with paper on a cookie sheet and pop it in the refrigerator.
• 10 continue rolling dough between paper until you have used it all.
• 11 by the time you finish preparing the dough, the first batch will be chilled and ready to cut.
• 12 reroll left over dough and repeat the process.
• 13 an added bonus is that you aren't adding any more flour to the cookies by rolling them out the old fashioned way.
