These I found off a website and fell in love with them. They are super easy (which is always nice) and super good! I added a little bit more sugar then the recipe calls, and some lemon zest which makes it really good. These are great because they don't fall apart in your hand, but are so soft when you bite into them.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar (+1/2)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (+1/2)
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Lemon ZEST!!
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely. I used store bought frosting because they had it on sale and really liked the Betty Crocker Vanilla Rich and Creamy.
