~*~Butter Cookies~*~
Jun 30 '00
This recipe comes from my Mother-in-law. I think everyone in the family uses it at Christmas time for Cut out Butter cookies.
Preheat oven to 425*
Ingredients
1 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
3 tsp vanilla
3 Cups Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Here is what you do....
In a Medium sized bowl, Mix together the Butter, sugar and egg until creamy. Stir in Vanilla.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Fold in the mixture in the medium sized bowl, until mixture is smooth. Roll the dough out on a floured cutting board. Use cookie cutters to cut the shapes out, and place about an inch apart on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 425* for 5-7 minutes, or until edges start to turn light brown. Take out of the oven and cool on a wire rack.
I buy a jar of white frosting, pour 1/4 of the frosting into 4 small bowls, add food coloring, and let the kids decorate the tops. This is a favorite at Christmas time for the Christmas baskets I make for family and friends full of goodies.
Happy Baking!!!
