3 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, soften (2 sticks butter or 1/2lb. butter)
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
* powdered sugar or flour for rolling out
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Place butter & sugar in a large bowl beat until light in color. Add egg & milk beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed and add flour gradually, beat until mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Divide dough in half wrap in plastic wrap and chill in freezer (1 hour) refrigerator (3 hours) or make up to a week ahead, then bring it out of the freezer for a hour or hour & a half to soften enough to roll out. Sprinkle some sugar/flour lightly on the surface you're rolling on,roll out dough about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, cut out with cookie cutters (sometime I just use a glass if no cutters) make sure to dip cutters/glass in flour so they don't stick to the dough. After cutting out cookies place on a cookie sheet put in freezer for 10 minutes bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool before removing from pan. you can eat them plain our glaze them, put sprinkles on or colored sugars, let them dry before eating or packing.
makes about 3 doz. sometimes more depends on how thin they are rolled.
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk,( if it looks too thick add a little more milk or too thin add more sugar, you can also
add food color if you're going for a theme...Enjoy!
