Sugar Cookies
A tasty sugar cookie recipe that can be used for roll out cookies that don't spread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a separate mixing bowl combine sifted flour and baking powder by mixing.

Use cookie cutters, fondant cutters or hand cut out your cookie shapes from dough mixture.

Place cookie cutouts onto parchment lined baking sheet.
