   2 1/2  cups          unsifted flour
   1      tsp           baking powder
   1      tsp           baking soda
     1/4  tsp           salt
   1      c             margarine

Stir first four ingredients; set aside.  In a large bowl with mixer at medium

blended, then eggs and vanilla.  Add flour mixture; beat until well blended.
If necessary chill dough.  Shape into 1inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on
ungreased cookie sheets.  Flatten slightly and decorate with candied cheeries,
or flatten with fork dipped in colored sugars.  Bake in 350 degree oven 12
minutes, or until lightly browned.  Remove from cookie sheets and cool on a
rack.  Makes 6 dozen.
