Directions
- Cream butter and sugar until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Slowly add flour to creamed mixture and mix until blended. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour. Hand-roll teaspoon-sized balls and place 2″ apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 until cookies are set and bottoms are lightly browned.
