Christmas Cookies

These are the Christmas cookies
I like to make every year.
Not to sweet and you can decorate
them with icing if desired.

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Cream butter, gradually add sugar
and beat until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg, milk and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add to creamed mixture.
Chill for ease in handling.
Roll out dough to 1/8" thickness
on lightly floured surface.
Cut with floured cookie cutters
into desired Christmas shapes.
Bake on a cookie sheet in a
preheated 350 degrees F. oven
8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
Makes about 4 dozen.
