2 different recipes on how to make BUTTER COOKIES.(:

First recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt


DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Shape dough into logs about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate or freeze until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unwrap rolls. You can roll the logs in nuts or sprinkles before slicing. Slice into 3/8 inch wide slices. Place slices 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Second Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 ounces colored candy sprinkles


DIRECTIONS
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg, cream and vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly (this usually works best with your hands).
Form dough into a flattened ball, wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. This mixture can keep for several days.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Roll dough out on a floured board to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and decorate with different types of sprinkles.
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 to 8 minutes.
