Rolled Sugar Cookies

Next weekend we are celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with my Dad before he leaves for Texas for the winter. Normally I make anything and everything for the holidays, except cookies because I suck at making and baking them. While I was cruising around the internet, I found a recipe for Best Rolled Sugar Cookies and it looked pretty simple to make and the reviews were all positive, so I have decided to give it a try! It is chilling in the fridge as we speak! Woot! I plan on baking them in the morning! I feel pretty confident that they will turn out for me! I'll let you know how they turn out! Wish me luck!

• 1 1/2 Cups soften butter
• 2 Cups white sugar

• 5 Cups flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
