Cream until light and fluffy.
Gradually add sugar, eggs, cream, and vanilla.

Sift together 3 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add gradually to butter mixture, stirring not beating.
Add half of remaining flour. Add enough of remaining flour to make dough stiff enough for rolling. Chill thoroughly.
