Cutout Cookie Recipe (741 views)

I have one I've been making for years (every Christmas). It makes a large batch though, depending on size of your cutters, but well worth it. The cookies are flat and turn out great whether you make them thicker or thinner. larger or smaller. Instead of rolling them in flour, I roll them between sheets of parchment paper. I also line my baking sheets with parchment paper.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 cups Flour, All-purpose
2 tsp. baking powder
2 large eggs
2 tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup Butter -- salted, at room temp.
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar


Mix flour and baking powder. Beat eggs, milk and vanilla with a fork in a small bowl until well blended. In a larger mixer bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat at a high speed until fluffy. Add egg mixture one third at a time, mixing well after each addition. At a low speed, add flour mixture one fourth at a time, mixing until blended. Dough should be fairly stiff. Divide dough into 4 pieces. With palms, shape each piece of dough into a ball and flatten to an inch thick round. Wrap each round in wax paper and chill 2 to 3 hours.

Heat oven to 375 F. On a lightly floured board, roll out one piece of dough 1/4" thick. Place cookies 1" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 - 10 minutes. Makes about 10 dozen.
