Tea Cookies

This recipe is from Carol Echols. I made these for Bennett's baptism favors.

Carol says: "These make great cut-out cookies!"

2 cups sugar
4 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 scant teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt

Blend sugar & butter; cream. Lightly spoon flour into cup measure and level with knife. Mix dry ingredients and add alternately with beaten eggs to sugar mix. Add vanilla. Roll out on board dusted with flour and cut with cookie cutter. Bake in 350 degree oven until lightly browned. About 10 minutes.

I used Royal Icing to ice them.
