I have had this cookie recipe for quite some time and it was passed onto me from my mother. I used to love these cookies when I was a little kid and I still enjoy them today! I made these cookies for a get together with friends and for my husband this month. Try these out with any type of frosting...the royal icing gives the cookie a nice polished look.
Cookie Monster Sugar Cookies
3/4 c soft butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
► In medium mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until they are blended.
► Add eggs and vanilla, blend together.
► Sift flour, salt and baking powder - mix everything together.
► Put dough in fridge and chill for at least 1 hour.
► Roll dough on floured or powdered sugared countertop to 1/4" thickness, cut into various shapes.
► Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
(A tip...if you really like sugar cookies, double this recipe because you will surely eat some of the dough and you want enough cookies to share and eat. Also, if you have the means...use the powdered sugar to roll out your dough. It tastes yummy on the chilled dough and is much easier to clean up!)
