Sugar Cookies

This is my mom's recipe. Well, from her cookbook. It's actually from an old friend of hers from High School. Anyhow, it's a really simple, no fail sugar cookie recipe. They taste great, and are very easy to make.

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder

Mix butter and sugar thoroughly. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and baking powder and mix well. Stir in flour. Chill for 10 minutes. (Makes it much easier to handle while rolling out and cutting) Roll to about 1/4" to 1/8" and cut into desired shape. Bake at 400 until very light brown 5 to 8 minutes. If you like a soft cookies, do not roll too think or bake too long. You can sugar these before baking or frost them after.

Super yummy, super easy.
