What you need:
1 1/2 cups melted butter (3 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or to taste if you like more or less)
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Melt butter in large bowl, after melted mix in sugar, eggs, and vanilla (in that order).
In separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Once dough is chilled, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place cut dough on cookie sheets.
