In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and eggs
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add them to the large bowl alternately with milk and vanilla
On a floured surface, roll 1/4 of the dough out evenly on a floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick
Cut it out with cookie cutters (see tips above), then use a spatula to transfer to a cookie sheet
Take leftover dough and add it to the next quarter of dough
Repeat rolling and cutting for the remaining cookie dough
If decorating with colored sugar and sprinkles, do that now
Bake at 400 degrees until lightly golden along the edges (this varies from oven to oven; start with 5 minutes Great-Grandmas recipe says to cook them until done)
Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, then frost them
