#436 - Sand Tart Cookies

(by Carol Felix - friend)

5 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 TBSP vanilla

In a mixer, combine butter, white sugar--beat. Add eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder--beat. Slowly add flour and beat--if it gets too stiff for the mixer, continue using a wooden spoon. Chill the dough a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Place some dough on a floured countertop and put a little flour on top--use a rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut the cookies. Place cookies on greased cookie sheets and bake at 375 degrees 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cookies can be removed right away and placed on paper towels to cool.
