Sugar Cookies

We're feeling festive around here, so I used a pumpkin cookie cutter.

Cream butter and sugars; beat in eggs one at a time until light and fluffy. Beat in oil and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to sugar mixture, beating till well blended. Cover and chill several hours.
