This sugar cookie recipe is from Martha Stewart's Entertaining. The dough rolls out very well and the cookies turn out crisp and light.
4 1/2 c sifted flour
4 t baking powder
1 t salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 t vanilla
In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. In small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt with wire wisk. Add to sugar mixture, 1 cup at a time, alternating with milk and vanilla. Beat well after each addition. Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour or longer. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll 1 piece at a time on floured board and cut with large cookie cutters. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on racks. Decorate cookies with colored icing and sprinkles.
Tip: Combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup confectioner's sugar. Use this mixture to flour board before rolling out cookie dough.
