    Recipe Introduction


    Mouth-watering butter cookies bring a smile any time of year. This recipe can be adapted for an afternoon tea, a fireworks picnic or a Christmas Eve gathering, with a little bit of imagination, a collection of cute cookie cutters & an assortment of sprinkles.

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups softened unsalted (sweet) butter
    2 cups white sugar
    2 large eggs, beaten slightly
    3 tsp. vanilla or 3 tsp. of lemon flavoring (may consider peppermint also)
    6 tablespoons milk
    6 cups flour
    3 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. salt

    Recipe





    Cream butter and sugar with electric beater. Add eggs a little at a time. Add flavoring and milk, and beat well.

    In separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add slowly to creamed mixture. Beat all ingredients until they form a ball of dough. Divide in half and place each half on clear wrap, wrap tightly and chill at least 2 hours. Roll out one half at a time on floured board until ¼-inch thick. Cut out using a variety of cookie cutters for the particular occasion. Place one inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with candy decorations or white sugar.
    Bake at 300° F for 5 minutes; rotate and bake 5 minutes more. Let cool and frost as desired or eat as is.
