INGREDIENTS 2 cups Sweet Cream Salted Butter (softened) 2 cups Granulated Sugar 2 Large Eggs 2 tablespoons Vanilla Extract 4 teaspoons Baking Powder 6 cups All-Purpose Flour INSTRUCTIONS Add the 4 sticks (2 cups) of butter and 2 cups of white sugar to your mixer. A word about the butter, we use Sweet Cream Salted Butter when we are baking and I think it tastes great with these sugar cookies too. The butter needs to be softened but still cold.
