Crispy Sugar Cookies

(makes a couple dozen or so, depending on the size of your cutters)

2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

In mixer, stir together the dry ingredients; add butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix well, until throughly blended. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out 1/4″-3/8″ thick, depending on how crisp you like them. Cut into desired shapes. (The dough handles beautifully! Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. I like to bake them until lightly golden around the edges. Cool on wire rack, then decorate to your little heart’s content.
