        "CUTOUT COOKIES"
        (Butter Cookies)



        1 cup butter & 1 1/4 cup sugar
        cream together


        add 3 eggs
        1 teaspoon vanilla mix well


        work in 3 cups of flour
        1 teaspoon baking powder
        1/4 teaspoon salt


        Chill dough overnight.
        Roll very thin and cut into desired
        shape and bake @ 375 degrees
        for about 8 minutes




        ICING:
        1 cup of sifted powder sugar
        1 tablespoon of milk
        1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
        dash of salt


        Beat till smooth and spread
        on cookiesheet. When the
        bottom of the cookie just
        starts to change, pull them out!


        Just a little good advise
        from someone that has burnt
        them more than once!!! Enjoy!
