Holiday Sugar Cookies
Cream 2 cups sugar and 2 cups softened butter.
Beat in 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla.
Stir in 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt.
Mix in 5-6 cups flour until dough forms.
Roll out, cut into shapes, and bake on an oven tray at about 190 degrees C for about ten minutes or until golden.
Decorate with royal icing and give to those you love. Or that neighbour whose flowers you accidentally ran over with a trash can. Ahem. Or just eat them yourself. 'Tis the season.
Obviously works for non-Santa-sanctioned cutters as well. Like Sesame Street if you have tiny nieces. Or really immature men friends.
