Aunt Doris' Mom's Sugar Cookies

By Nanatimesthree

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2/3 teaspoon soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3 2/3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

Cream first five ingredients well. Add beaten eggs. Sift flour and baking powder together and add to creamed mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Roll out dough, cut into desired shapes, and sprinkle with sugar. (Speaking from experience, this dough does not hold shapes very well, so I generally use it for just circles. But I continue to use it because it tastes so good!!) Bake at 400 on a greased and floured cookie sheet for about 8 minutes.
