My cousins and I love this family homestead recipe. I finally have this recipe and it is too good not to share. These cookies are great on their own without icing! But, if you have a sweet tooth, or small children, then these are even sweeter iced and decorated.

SERVES 18 , 36 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
- preheat oven to 375' F.
2
- cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3
- add yolks and vanilla
4
- in a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.
5
- add flour mix to creamed mixture, do not overmix.
6
- if the dough is too warm, then wrap in plastic and place in fridge for one hour.
7
- roll out 1/4" and cut into shapes.
8
- transfer cut cookies to cookie sheet (I use parchment paper).
9
- bake for 10 - 12 minutes, watch as they brown quickly.
10
- remove from oven, and immediately transfer to a wire rack with a spatula.
11
- once cool, decorate as desired.
