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.
