Does anybody know a good recipe for butter cookies?
Butter Cookies 1 cup butter softened (Leave out on counter overnight. Really!) 1 cup of sugar 1 egg 2.5 cups of flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking powder OPTIONAL: 2 tablespoons orange juice Combine butter, egg & sugar in a bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamed. Add baking powder, vanilla, OJ if you are using it & flour and beat on low speed until combined. Divide dough in half and cover in plastic & refrigerate two hours. Heat oven to 375. Roll out dough onto floured work space to desired thickness (1/4 inch is ideal). Use cookie cutters & bake on unbuttered cookie sheets for about 8 minutes.
