Sugar Cookie Recipe
Yield
about 2 dozen
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* Royal Frosting
Preparation for these sugar cookies:
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beating well.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture, beating just until blended. Divide dough into 4 portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
Roll each portion to 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of wax paper. Cut with a 5-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375° for 7 minutes or until edges lightly brown. Cool 3 minutes on cookie sheets; carefully remove to wire racks, and cool completely. Spread or decoratively pipe cookies with Royal Frosting.

Sugar cookies just like grandma used to make. Hot out of the oven with a cold glass of milk. Yum!
Sugar cookies are a great addition to a party, a holiday event, or even as a decoration on a Christmas or Easter Tree (make sure out of reach of Fido! )
What a wonderful little touch these sugar cookies would make at a wedding, shower, or birthday party.
