Best Rolled Sugar Cookies


INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on parchment paper 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter, spacing them about 1 in apart. Peel away extra dough and slide parchment paper onto cookie sheet.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
