Sugar Cookies

My friend April is a great baker. She gave me this recipe.

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add flour and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide dough in half, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Roll out dough  to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shape. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes.
I used this recipe every year for my preschoolers Christmas party.
