The holiday season is just around the corner! Why not enjoy the season with some yummy sugar cookies! With these easy steps, any Christmas party will be filled with these yummy goodies!

The steps for making sugar cookies are as follows:

1. In a bowl, mix together one and a half cups of softened butter and two cups of sugar until they become smooth. Beat in four eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla. Stir in five cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, and one teaspoon of salt.
2. Cover the dough when the ingredients are all mixed and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
3. After an hour (or the next day,) preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out dough on floured surface .25 to .5 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter (go for the Christmas cut outs!). Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven and let them completely cool off.
5. Frost the cookies with any desired color or flavor! Why not add some sprinkles while you're at it!
