This is one of our family's favorite desserts (especially at Christmas). I keep them in an air-tight container and they stay soft and yummy for over a week.
1 cup sugar 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
2 sticks butter 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs 2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup milk 1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter; add eggs, milk, vanilla. Mix well. In a separate bowl, sift together the baking soda, baking powder, salt & half of the flour (about 2 cups). Blend together with the wet mixture, adding remaining flour until dough is no longer sticky. Cover and let dough stand in the refridgerator for 2-4 hours (You can even leave it overnight if necessary).
When ready to bake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough and cut. Bake cookies for 7 minutes (longer if you like them more crispy). Transfer to a cooking rack. Decorate & enjoy.
