Serves: 3 dozen
Ingredients: - 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°.
- Blend all ingredients together except the flour.
- Add flour 1 cup at a time, until it is the correct consistency (usually about 3 3/4 cups... depends on the wateriness of the eggs).
- Chill for several hours or freeze. This isn't necessary, but it makes it easier to roll out. Dough can freeze (when wrapped well in wax paper) for at least a couple months.
- Roll out on a lightly floured area and cut using cookie cutters. Or drop onto a cookie sheet using a tablespoon.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
