Butter cut out cookies

Dough must be chilled.  Dough gets soft very quickly, but when the dough is chilled properly a lot of detail can be seen in the cut out cookies.  I chilled dough after it was cut out as well, before it went into the oven.  Cookies didn't spread.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups butter
 
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
 
• 2 large eggs
 
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
 
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
 
• Royal Icing
 
• Garnishes: sanding sugar, sprinkles, nonpariels, candy beads

How to Make It

Step 1

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar gradually, beating well. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.

Step 2

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl; beat into butter mixture gradually. Divide dough into 4 pieces, and flatten into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 4

Roll each portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out with 3- or 4-inch cookie cutters. Place on prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Let cool 3 minutes on baking sheets; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 6

Pipe cookies with Royal Icing; garnish, if desired.
