Mothers Sugar Cookies

3 c sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 c butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 TBS cream
1 tsp vanilla

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir in sugar and cut butter in until it's the consistency of small peas. Add egg, cream and vanilla and blend. Dough may be chilled or not. Roll out on floured board to 1/8 inch thick. Cut in circles. Sprinkle with sugar and lay on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5-8 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes 6-7 dozen.

Note: this did not make 6-7 dozen for me. I split the dough in half, freezing the other half, and I got about 2 dozen cookies.
