Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix butter, icing sugar, and egg well in mixer.
Add milk and vanilla, then combined dry ingredients.
Chill in sealed container for a few hours or overnight.
Divide into two or three parts (working with small amounts
of pastry makes rolling easier).
Roll out dough on floured surface (sprinkling on top as well) to about 1/4 inch (or slightly less) thickness.
Cut shapes from the dough with cookie cutters. Sprinkle unbaked cookies with coloured sprinkles or coloured sugar. Bake at 375F for about 8 minutes or until edges just begin to look done. Be careful to not over-bake.
