Versatile Cut-Out Cookies

Directions

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the dry ingredients; mix well. Chill for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃); grease cookie sheets.

On a floured surface, knead the dough to form a smooth ball.

Cut with floured cookie cutters.

Reroll as necessary to use all of the dough.

Place 1 inch apart on the cookie sheets.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
