November 25th, 2008 | 249 views | by firefly I don’t know why, but sugar cookies are so cool but give so much trouble while making. But let’s try this together 
and see if it’s working.
Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
-2 cups all-purpose flour
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-1 cup sugar
-1 large egg, lightly beaten
-2 tablespoon milk
-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
-Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar; add dry ingredients, and mix until incorporated. With mixer running, add egg, milk, and vanilla; mix until incorporated.
-Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape into 2 discs, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
-On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving an inch in between. Leftover dough can be rolled and cut once more. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes; do not allow to brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
-Decorate with Royal Icing, optional.
-I used colorful sprinkles in a holiday theme colors.
ENJOY!!!
I craved sugar cookies all the time when I was pregnant. I don’t think I’ve had any since my daughter was born two years ago.
