1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 c. bread flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs, well beaten
1 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Add flour mixture to butter and sugar, along with eggs, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Chill dough about 1 hour. Roll very thin and use a tin can (perhaps a soup can) to cut out cookie shapes. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 425 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle baked cookies with a little sugar. Yield: 6 to 7 dozen cookies.
