Ingredients
3/4 cup butter or margarine (soft, but not melted)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Put butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Combine the butter and sugar with a fork or large spoon.

Next, add the eggs and vanilla and combine.

Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix with a spoon or rubber spatula.

Put the cookie dough in a refrigerator for one hour.

Once the dough has chilled, roll it out onto a floured surface. Cut the cookie dough into tasty shapes.

Move the cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet and put it in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, depending on your preference.

Remove the sheet from the oven, let the cookies cool and enjoy!
