How To Make mom's rolled sugar cookies

• 1

  Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl for about 5 minutes.
• 2

  Add eggs, vanilla, lemon rind, mix. Add baking powder, salt and flour, mix. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough.

  Divide dough into 3 parts, cover the other two and put back in refrigerator. Working with other part, roll out on a floured area with a floured rolling pin to about 1/4" thickness. Cut with floured cookies cutters and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Decorate the cookies with sugars and sprinkles of choice. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or lightly browned on the bottom of cookie. Continue with the rest of the dough. The remainder of the dough that was used for each cutting, you can chill that and use it after you are finished with all of the fresh dough. I have used it to the 3rd rolling, but no more because the cookies will be tough.
