Kathy's Tea Cakes

1 cup butter, softened

1½ cups sugar

3 eggs

1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F ... 190°C

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture (the dough will be soft).
2. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
   

This should make 8 or 9 dozen tea cakes.
