One of the quintessential parts of the holiday season is Christmas Cookies. I love to cook, but I’m not much of a baker. Honestly, I struggle with those exact measurements. But I love the holiday tradition of baking cookies with my family. Last. year all the cousins came over and we made a huge mess on my kitchen island and I loved every minute of it! Here’s the easy sugar cookie recipe I love:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, (large)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, (measured correctly)
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- First, combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl and set the dry mixture aside.
- Using a mixer, beat together the egg, butter, sugar and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add flour into the butter mixer until it is fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll out each piece to ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out your favorite shapes.
- Bake the cookies for 10. minutes or until edges turn golden. Allow them to cool.
- Decorate the cookies as you please or eat them up plain!
I sure hope you love this Easy Sugar Cookie Recipe as much as I do!
