Ingredients:
1/2 cup(s) butter |
2 eggs |
2 cup(s) flour |
1 tablespoon(s) milk |
1 cup(s) sugar |
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder.
2. Add half of the flour mixture, stir in milk and vanilla, then the remaining flour mixture. Mix only until combined.
3. Wrap mixture in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or more before rolling out 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured work surface. Cut into shapes.
4. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon sugar or grated nuts, if desired.
5. Variations: Adjust the taste of the cookie dough as you prefer it; you may want to substitute lemon or orange flavoring for the vanilla extract, or various kinds of flavored liqueurs. Some vanilla brands bake off and leave behind little flavor; if you're using one of these, or old vanilla, you may want to add 2 tsp. instead; you be the judge. Never use artificial vanilla - use only good quality brands.
