Sugar cookies!:)

There are different sugar cookie recipes available on the internet. Some like their cookies sweet while some wants it plain. Use the one that works best for you and adapt it to your personal taste. I personally use this recipe that i found over the internet. This recipe is well adored and worshiped by my 2 year old son.

Basic sugar cookies you need:

• 1 c. {two sticks} of unsalted BUTTER, softened
• 1 1/2 c. confectioner’s sugar (you can either add or lessen this depending on your preferences)
• 1 large egg
• 2-3 tsp flavoring {pick what you like, I prefer almond}
• 2 1/2-2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder

1. Cream together softened butter and confectioner’s sugar. Crack the egg into a separate bowl, and add the flavoring.

2.Add that to the butter sugar mixture and mix until the egg is thoroughly incorporated.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add little by little to the mixture.

*I can tell the dough is ready when most of it sticks to the paddle.

When I touch it, it has a little give, but does not stick to my fingers.*

Roll out on parchment to about 1/4 an inch thick, use flour for dusting as necessary. Then, cut and bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes. This version makes 2-2 1/2 dozen, doubled, it makes 4-5 dozen.

The cookies go into the oven for about 7 minutes. Sometimes i overcook them to

add a little crisp. However, if you want to keep your cookies white make sure to watch them as they bake inside your oven.

Once your cookies are baked, make sure to place them on an airtight container. Let them sit there for a day before you start decorating them. But with or without decorations, you can be certain that this sugar cookies is to die for.

Happy Baking!
