I didn't realize that there were other cut-out recipes until I had Jill's. I'd always just had my mom's. So when I tasted Jill's that were thicker and softer, I was amazed ... and I love them!
Jill's Christmas Cut-Outs
1/2 cup Margarine
3/4 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 3/4 cup Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 - 3 Tbsp Milk
Mix first four ingredients and then gradually add dry ingredients. Add milk. Chill until firm.
Roll to 1/4" thickness on a floured surface. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 - 8 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. Cool and then frost with a buttercream frosting.
