Soft Sugar Cookies

• Beat together well:
• 2 c. butter, soft (not melted!)
• 2 c. granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• Stir in:
• 1 t. baking soda
• 3/4 t. salt
• 3 c. flour
• Mix well. Add while mixer is on:
• 2 c. flour

Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl. Mix again so it is combined well. Let dough set for 5 minutes. Use a medium cookie scoop preferably to make cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool for a minute before removing from cookie sheets, placing them on cooling racks to cool completely.

I do not use these for cut-out cookies, but then again, I don’t make cut-out cookies! You could frost them though!
