Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk and extract. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface to ⅛ in thickness. Cut with a 2-in cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 2 in apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 8 to 9 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
