Sugar cookies are an instant heart warming food, and the best thing about them is that they are not hard to make. You can choose to decorate sugar cookies with sprinkles and icing, or you can simply eat them plain – either way, sugar cookie recipes are all pretty much the same. The following recipe is for a basic sugar cookie, but go ahead and get creative if you so desire.
You Will Need: 2 ¾ cup flour; 1 tsp. baking soda; ½ tsp. baking powder; ¼ tsp. salt; 1 cup of butter (good quality) at room temperature; 1 ½ cups of sugar; 1 egg; and 1 tsp. of vanilla.
Mix: butter and sugar until creamy, then beat in egg and vanilla.
Sift: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt
Add: add flour mix to butter mix, and beat well.
Heat: 350 degrees for about fifteen minutes, or until cookies are golden brown.
As previously mentioned, you can decorate these cookies when they cool down, or you can just dunk them in a tall glass of milk. Sugar cookies are a great treat during the holiday season, but they can be wonderful as a sort of tea cookie during the summer months as well. Also, sugar cookies are great for a special occasion when you decide to decorate them to match a certain event – some people even include sugar cookies in their wedding reception food! If you want a simple cookie recipe, nothing is quite as tasty as a great, old fashioned, simple sugar cookie.
