What is a really good Sugar Cookie Recipe for Cut-out cookies?
Snackie’s Sugar Cookies These are best glazed with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk and then sprinkled with colored sugar after they cool. The dough can also be used to make Thumbprint cookies. You will need a strong mixer – a KitchenAid helps, but you can always knead in the rest of the flour. The dough does not spread or distort – they can be baked fairly close together and can be shipped or transported without breaking. 1 cup (2 sticks) butter (do NOT use oleo or spread) ½ cup sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 3 cups sifted all purpose flour ½ tsp baking powder Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and baking powder. Mix until mixture clings together. Gather into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate one hour. Roll out between ¼ and 1/2 inch thick. Bake 5 to 6 minutes at 375F. Cool on wire rack before glazing or frosting.
