1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Blend in egg.
3. Sift together salt, baking powder, and flour.
4. Add to mixture.
5. Blend vanilla into mixture.
6. Chill dough for an hour.
7. Roll dough to about 1/2 an inch thick and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
8. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes.

I used this recipe for Christmas cookies and it was perfect. I can’t remember where I found it, but it was the best one I’ve ever used. As long as the dough is chilled, you don’t even really have to flour the surface you roll it out on. It comes out totally perfect.

Happy baking!!
