Recipe - Rolled Sugar Cookies

2 cup Margarine;
One half cup Sugar;
1 teaspoon Vanilla; extract
1 Egg;
2 cup Flour;
2 teaspoon Baking powder

Cream together the margarine, sugar, vanilla and egg until light and
fluffy. Add about Three fourths 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 510 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.
