ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES (WEDMAN)

      Title: ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES (WEDMAN)
  Categories: Biscuits
       Yield: 36 Servings
  
     1/2 c  Margarine
     1/2 c  Sugar
       1 ts Vanilla extract
       1    Egg
       2 c  Flour
       2 ts Baking powder
  
   Cream together the margarine, sugar, vanilla and egg until light and
   fluffy.  Add about 3/4 of the flour and the baking powder, reserving
   the rest of the flour for rolling. Blend until well mixed. Chill the
   dough for 2 hours or overnight.
   
   Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a
   cookie cutter.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 375
   degree oven until lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes. Cool before
   storing. Makes about 72 cookies 2 inch size or 6 small cookie sheets
   of various sizes.
   
   My note:  If you aren't too fussy, square or random shapes from the
   edges can be cut with a plastic knife or anything that is safe to use
   on your rolling surface. Decorate with a tiny piece of a cherry,
   raisin or nut.
