Ingredients

  1. 2 CupsSalted Butter (NOT margarine)
  2. 2 CupsSugar (granulated)
  3. 4 TeaspoonsBaking Powder
  4. 2 TeaspoonsBaking Soda
  5. 2 TeaspoonsVanilla
  6. 4Eggs
  7. 1/3Milk (add more or less depending on humidity to form a soft dough)
  8. 6 CupsAll Purpose Flour

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cream room temperature butter and sugar.

  2. 2

    Add all other ingredients except flour and mix well.

  3. 3

    Stir in flour. Mix well but work the dough as little as possible. Over mixing makes cookies hard or tough.

  4. 4

    Option 1 - Put dough into a cookie press and press onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 until firm but try to remove before edges start to turn brown.

  5. 5

    Option 2 - Place large handful of dough on floured surface. Roll to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out with cookie cutters. Place cookies on cookie sheet and bake at 350 until edges barely begin to turn light brown.

  6. 6

    Let cookies cool completely and then frost and decorate.

  7. 7

    Tip: If you prefer a soft cookie, place cookies in a sealed container (or even a zip lock) and place a piece of white bread in the container (two for a larger container). This makes all the difference in the world for all cookies I have made! If you prefer a crisper cookie you can leave the cookies in for an extra minute and do not use the bread.
