Sugar Cookies #1

This morning I sent out a facebook request for friends to make a cookie recipe and tell me how many cookies it made. And you could tell me if there are any typos or really screwy instructions, too. (You will be helping me immensely in editing my cookbook!) So if that's why you're here... Thanks! (But don't forget to message me how many cookies—or leave a comment here.) ☺

MELANIE’S SUGAR COOKIES

I’m not sure where Melanie got this recipe—I think it may have been from our cousin, Julie. But I got the recipe from Melanie.

¾ cup butter

1½ cups sugar

1 cup Miracle Whip

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

dash salt

6-8 cups flour

   Heat oven to 350°. Cream together butter, sugar, Miracle Whip, eggs and vanilla. Add baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix well. Add flour, one cup at a time, to make a soft dough.  Roll dough out about ¼-inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Place shapes on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on baking racks; frost and decorate as desired.
