Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups softened unsalted butter
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter extract optional
  • 7 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • First, cream together the butter and sugar until it is really light and fluffy.
  • Then, add the eggs and the vanilla and butter extracts.
  • Finally, add the dry ingredients and mix until well.
  • Once your dough is ready, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 3-4 hours before rolling and baking. I prefer to let it chill overnight if possible!
    Faintly rolled out pie dough on a floured kitchen counter with a rolling pin and ingredients in the background.
  • Once chilled, roll and cut the cookie dough using your favorite cutter, or just the rim of a glass.
  • Place the cookies on the parchment-lined baking sheet, and put these in a preheated 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. Note: These should come out light, so remove before edges brown.
