Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (I always use real butter. Margarine does not work the same)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 TB milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups flour
In a large bown beat butter with the electric mixer on medium until softened. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla. Beat well.
Slowly beat in the flower until well mixed. Mix in the rest of the flour with your hands.
Divide the dough into 4 parts. Wrap each part in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 or 2 hours.
Heat the over to 375 degrees. Roll out one portion of dough at a time on a floured surface. The dough should be rolled out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out the cookies with floured cutters. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. You can then decorate these however you want - colored sugar or sprinkles. You can also decorate them with icing later if you prefer.
Bake the cookies in a 375 degree oven for 8 minutes. They should be lightly browned on the edge. Allow the cookies to resp on the sheet for 1 minute after they come out.
Recipe make 36 to 48 cookies.
