Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add these dry ingredients, a small portion at a time, to the above mixture, mixing until all ingredients are moist and batter is smooth.

Drop batter by the teaspoon, about 2 inches apart, onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Press each with the bottom of a glass that has been oiled and dipped in sugar. You can use a plain glass, or look for some kinds of stemware that have a star pattern on the bottom for a different design.

Makes about three dozen 3-inch cookies.

Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 or 3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to complete cooling.
