Super-Easy Sugar Cookies

Servings: 0

Notes

  • 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use the good stuff, imitation is for sissies)
  • Colored decorator sugar
Preparation
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
2) In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Gradually add in dry ingredients until well-combined.
3) Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll half the balls in colored decorator sugar. Place balls sugar side up on baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until done. Try not to over-bake these. They're better a little underdone than overdone.
