Soft Cookies

Soft Cookies


 "Soft cut out sugar cookie that I have used for years. I sprinkle with colored sugar before baking or you  could also try icing them when cool."

Ingredients 
Original recipe makes 4 dozen
  •  3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 
  •  1 teaspoon baking powder 
  •  1/2 teaspoon salt 
  •  1 cup margarine, softened 
  •  1 1/2 cups white sugar 
  •  2 eggs 
  •  2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 Directions

  1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed. Cover dough, and chill for 2 hours. 
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a clean floured surface, roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters. 
  3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are barely brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
