My mother, my sister, and I used to make Christmas cookies every year in December. Here is the best Christmas cookie recipe you will ever find!

Here is the Christmas cookie recipe: As copied almost word for word as written by my sister many years ago!

(Double the recipe!)

2 cups flour 1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp salt. 1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 cup butter 1 TBsp sugar
3/4 cup sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon

1) Sift flour, baking powder and salt.
2) Cream butter and sugar, add egg and beat until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and milk.
3) Add flour mixture and beat well.
4) Chill until easy to handle. ( Really important or it sticks.)
5) Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness on lightly floured board.
6) Cut out cookies!!!
7) Place on lightly greased cookie sheet (and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, opts. YUCK!!
8) Bake in 400 degree oven 6 to 10 minutes, cool, and decorate. (Don't forget the yellow snow!!)
