Holiday Sugar Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 375. Thoroughly cream margarine, sugar and vanilla. Add egg and water. Beat until light and fluffy. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Blend into reamed mixture. Divide dough in half and chill 1 hour. On a lightly floured surface roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. If desired brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with coloured sugar, or after baking, frost with your favourite cookie frosting. Bake on greased cookie sheet 6-8 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool slightly. Transfer from pan to paper towel.
