String Up Butter Cookies


This is my aunt Sharol's recipe:

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

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. In a separate bowl, cream butter and vanilla together until softened. Add sugar to butter mixture until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time to butter mixture, stirring after each one. Add a fourth of the dry ingredients to the butter mix at a time, stirring after each fourth. Cover bowl and chill in refrigerate over night. Remove dough from fridge and shape into ball 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to make shapes and lay cookies on a greased cookie sheet.




Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes.  Let cool on wax paper before moving the cookies to the container.  





Frost.  I also added green sprinkles.
