#1120 - Brown Sugar Cutout Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups butter (softened)
1 cup Domino's dark brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
6 cups flour

In a mixer add butter, brown sugar and white sugar--beat. Add eggs and vanilla--beat. Add baking soda and salt--beat. Add flour a cup at a time--beat--if it gets too stiff for your mixer remove the bowl from the mixer and continue with a wooden spoon. Cover the bowl with Saran wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, take out a softball sized amount of dough from the bowl (leave the rest in the refrigerator). Flour your counter, place dough ball on top of the flour, and flour the top of the dough ball. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/4" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut your cookies. Place cookies on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-12 minutes. Cool completely, then frost as desired.
