It has been a while since we've posted any recipes. I haven't been cooking much lately because I got a new job teaching dance, and my husband is working out of town. I have been baking cookies for a bake sale to help my dance students raise money to go to competition. This is the best sugar cookie recipe I have ever tried, and I have tried at least 30 of them. None of them tasted quite right, and I couldn't get them right tweaking the recipes. Usually tweaking recipes is my forte....ha ha. This one is great because there are only 6 ingredients!
*My recipe calls for Butter, but Kristin Mabb (Who gave me the recipe) likes to use Margarine.
1 cup Butter (2 sticks) room temperature
3 1/2 cups Flour, plus more for rolling dough
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 cup Sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
Cream Together Butter and Sugar. Add Eggs and Vanilla. Stir in Flour and Baking Powder.
Roll out to 1/4" and cut using cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for 10-15 minutes.
**the original recipe said to bake for 8-10 minutes, but mine are never done. I think it may have to do with elevation, because in Cedar they were always done in 10 minutes.
