Soft Christmas Cookies Recipe

Sift flour baking powder and salt together set aside. In a large bowl cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed. Cover dough and chill for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a clean floured surface roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven or until edges are barely brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
