Try a New Recipe Tuesday- November 6

It's Tuesday and that means "Try a New Recipe Tuesday!"  Looking forward to seeing what you all share this week.  :-)

I am sharing my sugar cookie recipe.  My kids LOVE it.  They are always asking to make them.  It is fun and easy (and they are VERY tasty!)

SUGAR COOKIES

1 cup butter, softened          2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup sugar                           2 3/4 cup flour

1 large EGG                           1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour (one cup at a time) mixing after addition. The dough will be very stiff, blend last flour in by hand. Do not chill dough. Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball in a circle approximately twelve inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Dip cutters in flour before each use. Bake cookies on cookie sheet on top rack of oven for approx.. 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.
