The Perfect Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are sweet, simple and perfect for holiday baking. In under 15 minutes of prep time, you will have a dough that you can rely on for all that holiday baking you have to do.

INGREDIENTS

– unsalted butter – sugar – egg – vanilla extract – baking powder – all-purpose flour

STEP 1

Prepare all ingredients. Be sure to use butter that is softened in a room temperature. In a small pan, combine the flour and baking powder.

STEP 2

Beat together butter with sugar, until the mixture is smooth. To the mixture, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Whip everything together until it's well combined.

STEP 3

Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, adding it in small parts. The dough will be a bit crumbly, but that is OK.

STEP 4

Divide the dough into small parts and roll it out into a 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your favorite shapes.

STEP 5

Bake cookies at 350°F on a lined baking sheet for about 8 minutes. Cookie time depends on the size of the cookies.
