Harvest Sugar Cookies

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.

Add eggs and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Chill for 1 hour or until firm. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness.

Cut with pumpkin or leaf cookie cutters or others of your choice.

Using a floured spatula, place cookies on greased baking sheets.

Sprinkle with sugar if desired (or frost baked cookies after they have cooled).

Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned
