Soft Sugar Cookies

Okay, so we make these at least once a month around here at the boys request, but secretly I love them just as much! So so soft and super yummy! 3/4 C margarine
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Cream margarine and sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour sifted with baking powder and salt, mix well. Chill for a couple hours. Roll 1/2 inch thick on floured surface and cut into shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 for 8 to 10 minutes.

* I've tried these with butter instead of margarine and they get to hard when chilling so they won't even roll out. Also I cook them for 9 minutes and when they come out they seem like they might need a few more minutes, but just leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling and they will be perfect!
