Picked up a new book on Cookies. I know, I know...what an odd book to purchase, but honestly I needed a good sugar cookie recipe. Now I need to bake some, so you can see a picture!
And a great recipe for sugar cookies and butter cream frosting I got!
Sugar Cookies
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbs. water (optional)
Mix together and set to the side flour, salt and baking powder. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar on medium speed. Beat in eggs Add the flour mixture (SLOWLY) and blend on low speed. Add vanilla extract and blend. You may add a tablespoon of water if the dough feels dry.
Knead into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll dough out and cut your cookies. (The more flour you add to your surface the tougher the cookie)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes (small) or 12-15 (large). The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown.
