How To Make easy cookie cutter dough

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 180C Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl
• Step 2
  Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in a separate bowl
• Step 3
  Add one egg to butter mixture and mix until completely combined, then add other egg and repeat, lastly add milk and mix well.
• 
  Step 4
  Add butter mixture to the flour and mix until it starts to come together then using hands, mix dough into a ball
• 
  Step 5
  Cut dough into 3 parts and roll each part out flat, between 2 sheets of baking paper. Layer all 3 sheets into a baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. I found this a little hard because my baking paper was so slippery and it was hard to roll, next time I might try cling wrap instead.
• 
  Step 6
  Remove sheets from fridge and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. TIP: Spray cookie cutters with cooking spray or grease the edges (not too much). This makes it easier to pop the dough out from the cookie cutter.
• 
  Step 7
  Bake for 8 minutes or until golden. Roll out remaining dough and repeat until finished.

  I got a whole lot of cookies out of this recipe. The star shaped cookie cutter I used was about 3 inches, so all together I was able to make about 30 cookies. I love this recipe, not bad for my first attempt and I think it will get easier the more I make it but Im very grateful to the lady who posted the original recipe.
