Sugar Cookies

1 1/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
5 c. flour
1 t. salt
4 t. baking powder
1 t. nutmeg
1/2 c. milk

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients and add alternately with milk. If the dough is sticky, add flour if necessary to make the dough easier to handle.

Roll dough 1/4” thick on a well-floured surface, and cut with cookie cutters of your choice. Sprinkle with colored sugars or sprinkles. Bake on ungreased baking sheets at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 100 cookies, depending on the size of the cookie cutters you use.
