Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

These cookies are great fresh or from the freezer! Delicious and easy to make. Kids can help decorate them if they can resist eating them first!

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 Tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla (or other flavour if you choose: almond, maple, etc)

2 eggs (separated- Beat yolks together. Stiffly beat egg whites together, set aside)

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups flour

Preheat oven: to 350 degrees

1. Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten egg yolk, flour, baking powder, salt, milk and stiffly beaten egg whites. (this makes the cookies light and tasty!)

2. Add enough more flour to make consistency to roll out the dough.

3. Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters.

4. Decorate with sprinkles or sugar then bake for 10 minutes.

By far the best sugar cookie recipe I have found! Freezes very well and decorating is only limited to your imagination and creativity!
