Grandma's Cut out Christmas Cookies

Christmas wouldn't be the same without these yummy cookies!  Grandma would always roll and cut them out the day before we decorated them, she was always the one to put the frosting on while the we kids decorated them.  I don't know who is going to put the frosting on this year.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Cream butter and sugar together

beat in eggs and vanilla

mix in flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder

Roll out dough and cut out cookies

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

These are the cookie cutter we use every year.

Grandma always made the frosting with powdered sugar, melted butter, milk and vanilla.  I think it is the recipe on the bag of powdered sugar.  This video is from last Christmas when Grandma made WAY to much frosting and all of us were dying from laughter!  I'm bummed I didn't pick up my camera sooner.
