  • 6 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or desired flavoring almond perhaps?
  • 1 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. mix dry ingredients and add a little at a time to butter mixture. Mix until flour is incorporated and the dough comes together.
  2. Chill for 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Roll to desired thickness {spacers help A LOT} and cut into desired shapes. Bake on a Sil-Pat lined baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown around the edges.

Recipe Notes

I usually make a half batch of this dough and get about 2 to 3 dozen cookies, depending on the shapes/sizes of the cookie cutter.
