Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

With electric mixture, beat sugar, butter and vanilla until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl.  Add eggs beating after each egg; beat thoroughly.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Beat the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.

Roll out cookie dough to ¼” (0.6 cm) onto a lightly floured board. For best results, do not roll cookie dough too thin. Use cookie cutters of your choice for a variety of different shapes and sizes. Place cookies on parchment lined cookie sheets.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes or until the underside of cookies turn golden brown.
