Steps:

• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat on medium-low speed until incorporated.
• Put some sugar in a small bowl. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter, roll them into balls and coat in the sugar. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (There will be additional batter for a second batch.)
• Bake until the bottoms and edges are barely golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

THE BEST SOFT AND CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES YOU WILL EVER MAKE!!

Steps:

• Cream sugar and shortning. Add sour cream, eggs, and almond/vanilla. Mix well.
• In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Add to creamed mixture until well blended. Remember, the more you mix, the tougher your dough will be.
• Chill for a few hours (at least 3-4). The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
• Roll out (I use a floured pastry cloth), and cut with a cookie cutter. Flour cutter between each cookie to prevent sticking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cookies shouldn't be brown, just done to the touch.
• FROSTING- See ingredients below.
• 2 lbs. powdered sugar 1 cup shortening 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
• With mixer, beat butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add egg and vanilla; beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
• Add dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Place 1/2 cup sugar in shallow bowl.
• Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, roll in sugar and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. (If the dough seems too sticky to handle, ill a medium-sized bowl half way with cold tap water. Before you roll each ball of dough, dip your hands in cold water and dry--this will keep dough cool and help keep it from sticking to your hands.).
• Butter bottom of glass and then dip in sugar.
• Flatten dough balls with glass until about 3/4 inch thick.
• Bake until cookies are golden brown around edges and very lightly colored, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color happen and know it's ready.
• Add the egg and mix until well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined. It will be thick and shouldn't be sticky. Do not over mix. Once it's well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
• Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Set the balls on the baking sheet.
• Bake cookies for 7-8 minutes. The cookies will spread and the centers will look soft, but should look done. Remove just before the edges begin to turn golden. Don't over bake. The cookies will be a little puffy when you take them out of the oven but will fall a bit as they cool.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
