Roll-out Cookies

Pre-heat oven to 400°.

Cream butter and sugar, beat in egg and vanilla. Mix baking powder and flour, add to creamed mixture one cup at a time, mixing after each addition.

The dough will be very stiff; blend last flour in by hand (if dough becomes too stiff, add water a teaspoon at a time).

Do not child dough.

Roll out on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thick.

Dip cutters into flour before each use.

Bake cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet on top rack of oven for 6-8 minutes until cookies are lightly browned.
