  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  1. Cream together eggs, butter, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the flour. Dough will be stiff.
  2. Shape in walnut sized balls and flatten with the bottom of a glass.
  3. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 minutes. If you brown them, you've overbaked them. These may also be rolled out and cut with cookie cutters.
