Sugar cookies

This is my favorite Sugar cookie recipe, they taste great and hold their shape very well. I have made sugar cookies in the past where I have used very detailed cookie cutters and the cookies would just bake into little blobs that didn't come close to resembling the shape of the cookie cutter. This recipe allows the shape to hold incredibly well. This recipe makes a large amount of cookies close to 5 dozen. Ingredients: 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 Directions: 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 floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on un greased cookie sheets. Bake
