Old Fashioned Butter Cookies

1 cup sweet cream butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp. orange juice

1 tsp vanilla

 

 

 

In a 3-qt mixer bowl, combine butter, sugar and egg. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce to low speed; stir in flour, baking powder, orange juice, and vanilla until smooth and well-combined. Chill 2 to 3 hours or until firm enough to be rolled. Preheat oven to 400. Roll out dough, 1/2 at a time, on well-floured surface to 1/8” – 1/4” thickness. Cut out with cookie cutters. Place on uncreased baking sheet. Bake near center of oven for 6-10 minutes or until golden brown on edges. Cool on wire rack. Frost/decorate. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
