BEST SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
• In the bowl of your mixer, CREAM butter and sugar until smooth, at least 3 minutes
• BEAT in extracts and egg. (PLEASE NOTE there is 1 egg in this recipe.)
• In a separate bowl, COMBINE baking powder and salt with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: If the dough looks crumbly keep mixing for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the mixer.
• If the dough still looks too dry or stiff for your mixer, turn out the dough onto a countertop surface, flour surface as needed. Wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand.
• DO NOT CHILL THE DOUGH. Divide into workable batches (2-3 chunks), roll out onto a floured surface, and cut. You want these cookies to be on the thicker side (closer to 1/4 inch rather than 1/8).
• Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.
