2 Eggs-Land’s Best Eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup Longmont Dairy Milk
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder

Cream butter & sugar together, add beaten eggs and mix well. Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add half flour mixture and half milk and blend well, then repeat. Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350º. Dough will be sticky, so keep extra flour nearby. Roll out dough, and use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cookie. Cool and decorate.
