American Butter Cookies (Christmas Tradition)

2-1/2 c. sifted flour
1-1/2 t. baking powder
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 t. vanilla

Sift together flour and baking powder. Cream butter; add sugar and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and blend. Add sifted dry ingredients gradually, mixing well.  Chill thoroughly (at least 4 hours). Roll out very thin on well-floured board and cut into shapes. Brush cookies before baking with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar or decorettes. Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes until brown around edges.
