Homemade Sugar Cookies
Amazing homemade sugar cookie recipe. You probably have all 7 ingredients in your pantry right now!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 C Butter
- 1 C Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- 2 C Flour
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar. Add Egg and Vanilla. Mix well. Stir in Flour, Salt, and Baking Powder until thoroughly mixed.
- Roll and/or shape the dough into a log, and chill until firm. When it’s ready, start cutting slices not too thick, but also not too thin. Between 1/4 and 1/2 inch is just perfect.
- Once dough is firm, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut cookies into desired width up to 1/4″ (thicker width = softer cookies). For best results place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet (or a lightly greased sheet). FYI, If you cut the slices too thin, the cookies will be a bit crispy, but if you cut them just right, you’ll get a slightly crisp outside and super soft inside.
- Bake for 8-14 minutes – Time depends on thickness of cookie. For best results you want to pull the cookies from the oven before the edges start to turn brown.
- Whip up your very favorite frosting, and add a touch (or a lot!) of sprinkles to make your sugar cookies colorful and fun. You can decorate according to the seasons, are just use what you have on hand.
