2/3 cup butter (~11 Tbsp.)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. baking soda
4 cups flour

In large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until well mixed. Scrape down sides of bowl. Dissolve baking soda in milk and add to mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt with a wire whisk, then add the flour mixture. Blend on low speed just until combined. Gather dough into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and place in plastic bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. On floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. With cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Frost when cooled and decorate.
