Big Batch Sugar Cookies

By Sophialuc

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Mix well. Chill in large pancake shapes wrapped in parchment or waxed paper for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees before baking cookies. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats to prevent cookies from spreading. On surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll dough to approx 1/8″ thick. Use cookie cutters dipped in powdered sugar to cut dough into shapes. Bake on baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until just beginning to turn brown around the edges. This recipe can make up to 5 dozen 4-6″ cookies.
