Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400° (when you are ready to start baking.)
In a large bowl cream together your butter and sugar.
Once creamed together, add in your eggs, one at a time while continuing to beat the dough.
While your dough is continuing to mix add in vanilla.
Add in your flour a little at a time with breaks occasionally to make sure that everything mixes together.
Once your flower is fully incorporated, add in your baking powder and salt.
Using your hands, form your dough into a large bowl. Wrap plastic wrap around it and refrigerate for at least four hours, if not overnight.
When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400°.
On a lightly floured flat surface roll your dough out to 1/4 inch thick. I suggest portioning your dough ball into four sections unless you have a large flat surface area to work on.
