Basic Butter Cookies
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 lb soft butter or margarine
3 c sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c milk
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Add milk, baking powder, soda, and salt.
Mix in flour (I
put in like an extra 1/2 cup or they rise too much, but my mom doesn't
and hers turn out ok. I have no idea how that is possible.)
Refrigerate dough until easy to handle.
Roll 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and cut with floured cookie cutters. (I
knead in a bunch more flour here too, but for some reason my mom doesnt
have to.)
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Makes about 6 dozen.
