	Sugar 08

		Sugar Cookies 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 2 large eggs 1 to 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp milk or cream 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt icing sugar for dusting rolling pin and counter Cream the butter and the sugar together until light. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat until fluffy, and add the milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt two times. Beat the flour mixture until well mixed. Then wrap the dough in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill it for at least 1 hour. (I chill it for at least 2-3) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and butter cookie sheets. Divide dough into manageable amounts for rolling out. Dust rolling surface, rolling pin, and dough with icing sugar. Roll dough out to 1/8-inch thickness (or thicker if preferred), cut out with cutter, place on cookie sheet, and bake for about 8 minutes until faintly browned around the edges. Watch carefully for overbrowning. Cool on racks.
