BEAT THIS TOGETHER:

1 1/2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

NOW ADD DRY INGREDIENTS AFTER SIFTING TOGETHER:

5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt

Mix together and chill for one hour before rolling out to 1/8 inch thick.(actually I just roll them out immediately on a floured surface).  Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes and frost with this awesome frosting:  Makes about 4 dozen big cookies ;o)

FROSTING

3  cups powdered sugar
