When you look forward, you shall see a long forever, a boundless duration before you, which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your soul; and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverance, any end, any mitigation, any rest at all; you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions and millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this almighty merciless vengeance; and then you will have so done, when so many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that all is but a point to what remains.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cream together the margarine, sugar, vanilla and egg until light and
fluffy.  Add about 3/4 of the flour and the baking powder, reserving
the rest of the flour for rolling. Blend until well mixed.  Chill the
dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick.  Cut with
a cookie cutter.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake in a 375
degree oven until lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes.  Cool before
storing. Makes about 72 cookies 2 inch size or 6 small cookie sheets
of various sizes.
My note:  If you aren't too fussy, square or random shapes from the
edges can be cut with a plastic knife or anything that is safe to use
on your rolling surface.  Decorate with a tiny piece of a cherry,
raisin or nut.
