2 1/2 cupAll-purpose flour, save ?c
2 tspBaking powder

2Heat oven to 300 degrees.
3Grease cookie sheet (only once).
4No need to grease it each time.
5Add ingredients together, saving out the ?cup of flour.
6Knead the ?cup flour into the dough now, chill.
7Roll out, using flour on surface, cutters and rolling pin, generously.
8Try to get more flour on tiny places.
9This is a great recipe for the creased cookie cutters, because it is delicious and dough does not lose its shape.
10For this type of cutter, roll to about ? thickness, so dough is just thick enough to leave the cutter imprints.
11Ordinarily, roll dough to ? thickness for best results.
12Any cookie will lose detail and shape when it is too thick.
13This cookie is good iced with thin royal icing.
14Cookie stays soft, but is not terribly fragile.
