MAMA'S SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Method:
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
• Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients in two parts, mixing thoroughly between each addition. Mix the dough until the dough pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
• Roll dough into one large log and wrap in plastic wrap and chill to firm for 30 minutes to slice into ½ inch cookies. Place sliced cookies on baking sheet.
• Bake 8 minutes, and rotate the pan, then bake another 8 min. in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand for a few minutes to make it easier to handle before removing to fully cool.
• Tips:
• Homemade sugar cookies are very easy; very few ingredients are required and you can bake up a delicious batch in less than 20 minutes!
• For perfect cookies, make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature when you incorporate in the dry. This will help to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed together.
• Simple flavors like vanilla create a great base for your cookies to taste richer.
• Remember to evenly space your cookies on the baking sheet as they will expand as you bake them.
• Crisper cookies are made at a temperature of 350F.
