Cutout Cookies

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cups sugar
1 cup powder sugar (more for rolling out cookies, I do not like to use flour)
4 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt



In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and extract. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
