SUGAR COOKIES

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks (1 cup) of unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup of sugar

• 1 egg

• Splash of vanilla

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/4 tsp. baking soda

• (1/2 cup sugar for dipping)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, (or using a bowl and an electric mixer), cream together the butter and sugar for a couple minutes.

3. Add in the egg and vanilla. Beat for another minute.

4. In a separate bowl, briefly combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix for only 20-30 seconds.

5. Scoop the cookies and dip each one into some sugar. I use a 1 1/2 Tbsp. ice cream scoop to keep them all the same size.

6. Put the cookies onto the baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes!
