4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 sticks unsalted butter (I always use regular butter)
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Cream together sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in eggs. [I add to vanilla here too] Slowly blend in flour mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes or more. I like to form the dough into several smaller flat rectangles and chill separately. You can only work so much of the dough at a time, and it's better not to rework it several times.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into shapes and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. While the cookies are chilling, preheat oven to 325. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown.
Cool on wire racks.
