| I've tried every sugar cookie recipe that didn't list baking powder as an ingredient; the cookies still rose too much to see the details of the cookie cutters. Finally I tried a shortbread recipe. It called for way too much flour, and I had to refrigerate the dough to make it rollable, but at least Winnie the Pooh didn't look like Holly Hobbie!

| That's a good solution. I've used the cookie recipe from joyofbaking.com which does have baking powder in it but my cutters are just shapes without detail. I don't remember them rising much but I roll them out really thin. |

| This is the recipe that I always use and it only calls for 1/2 tsp of baking powder. You mix it like a pie crust and they are very nice. Sugar Cookies 3c flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 c butter or margarine pinch of salt Mix all together like piecrust dough cutting the butter into the dry ingredients. Then add: 1 c sugar 2 beaten eggs 1 tsp vanilla. Chill dough. Preheat oven to 375°, roll and cut cookies. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes. I always double this recipe and then frost and decorate. RL` |

| Are you sure it's not more about too much sugar instead of baking powder? ...just a thought. Marilyn |

| No, Marilyn, I'm not sure; just assumed baking powder was the leavening agent. (And we all know the results of assuming. . .) |
