Snowflake Sugar Cookies

These sugar cookies are the best that I have ever made, seen and tasted. They are beautiful and come out perfect every time! I got this recipe last year and loved making them for neighbors for Christmas. Obviously, you don't have to do snowflakes. They'd be cute in any shape for any occasion, but the edible glitter it calls for just adds that extra touch!

Ingredients:

1 C butter
1 1/2 C sugar
4 eggs
4 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
2 tsp vanilla
5 1/2 C flour
1 cream cheese frosting recipe
Edible Glitter (Michael's cake isle)

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well until light and fluffy.
Add baking powder, salt, vanilla, mix well.
Add three cups of flour, mixing gently. Gently work in remaining 2 1/2 C flour, mixing as little as possible (hands work well at this point).
Roll out 3/8" - 1/2" thick. Cut shapes.
Bake at 375 for 6-7 min. until centers are higher than the sides.
Apply cream cheese frosting while cookie is slightly warm.
Sprinkle with Edible Glitter.
