Review of last recipe (photo above) - It was good, but obviously, expensive to make, so don't know if I'd make it again.

TODAY'S RECIPE - BUTTER COOKIES
This recipe was on the back of a Land O Lakes butter box circa ?.

Makes 6 dozen - oven 400 degrees

1 cup each sweet butter, softened, and sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla

In a 3 qt mixer bowl, cream butter, sugar and egg until light and fluffy.  Beat in flour, baking powder, orange juice and vanilla until smooth and well combined.  Chill 2-3 hours or until firm enough to be rolled.

Roll out dough, 1/2 at a time, on well floured surface to 1/8" - 1/4" thickness.  Cut out with cookie cutters.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet, and bake in center of oven for 6-10 minutes or until golden brown on edges.  Cool on wire rack.

** For a crisper cookie, roll to 1/8", and for a softer cookie, roll to 1/4".
