Cookie Cutter Butter Cookies

 

2 cups butter or margarine
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
6 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter or
margarine over low heat. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of
flour and the sugar. Beat eggs in one at a time until it is
all blended. Slowly add in the remaining 4 cups of flour. Roll
out the dough on a floured area to a thickness of about an
1/4 of an inch. Cut cookies using cookie cutters and place
the cut outs about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for
12 to 15 minutes until brown on the edges.
