My Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix baking powder and flour, add one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very still; blend last four in by hand (if dough becomes too stiff add water, a teaspoon at a time). Do not chill dough. Divide dough into 2 balls. On floured surface, roll each ball into circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Dip cutters in flour before each use. Bake cookies on an uncreased cookie sheet on top rack of oven for 6-7 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned. Makes 20-24 average size cookies.
