Soft cut out sugar cookie that I have used for years. I sprinkle with colored sugar before baking or you could also try icing them when cool.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed.

Cover dough, and chill for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Grease cookie sheets.

On a clean floured surface, roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness.

Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are barely brown.

Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
