Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your mixer, add the rest of the ingredients and mix until smooth, I mixed mine about 3 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture in batches about ⅓ at a time and mix.
- Transfer the dough to a big piece of plastic wrap and gently knead it until it forms a ball. Wrap the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
- I found it easier to cut the dough in 4 pieces and roll out each piece at a time so that it's about ¼ of an inch in thickness. Cut the cookies with your favorite cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 9 to 11 minutes, just until the edges are firm and the center still slightly soft. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Transfer to a rack and cool. If you wish you can sprinkle them with icing sugar.

Notes
- When making cookie dough the butter must always be soft. But it also creates a better texture if the eggs are too. So take the eggs out of the fridge along with the butter about an hour before starting the recipe.
- The dough must be chilled to form the cookies. It’s not an optional step. Also, if the dough starts to get too soft when you are rolling out the cookies then you need to put it back in the fridge to chill for a few minutes.
- Most ovens have hot and cold spots. So for the most uniform baking, rotate the sheet pans halfway through the baking time.
- This recipe will yield about 48 cookies.
