Christmas Sugar Cookies

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.

Stir in flour, salt, and baking powder. Cover dough a chill for at least an hour, or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out chilled dough onto a floured surface, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes, decorate as desired, and place onto an increased cookie sheet.

Bake for 6-8 minutes.

Repeat. Allow to cool completely, and enjoy!
