--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            Flour
     1/4   ts           Salt
     1/4   ts           Baking powder
     1/2   c            Powdered sugar
   1       c            Butter

     Oven 325°.
  
     Mix butter and sugar until creamy.  Add sifted dry
  ingredients. Chill until easy to handle.  Roll out to
  1/4" thickness on lightly-floured board or wax paper.
  Cut into desired shapes (I have a bird cutter and
  Christmas tree).  Bake on ungreased sheet at 325° for
  10 to 15 minutes. Cookies may be sprinkled with
  colored sugars before baking, if desired.
