Sugar cookies seem to be a common favorite amongst the general population. You see them at birthday parties. One will encounter them at meetings. They are spotted at potlucks. I can safely say that a sugar cookie is a simple yet magical creation.
These tasty morsels become quite handy when one is put in tricky situations. Get in a fight with your boyfriend? Why not just bake up a batch of these sugary delights. I assure you that once he has a bite of these babies he’ll be begging for more, and begging for forgiveness (even if it was you that did wrong). It works with Eric every time. ;]
Even if you aren’t in a fight, I assure you that your significant other will love indulging in a batch of cookies made by you. Everything tastes better when made with love by someone special.
SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/8 cup brown sugar
1 ½ sticks butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons cream (if you don’t have cream you can use milk)
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugars, and salt.
Add the butter and mix until crumbly.
Stir together the lightly beaten egg, vanilla, and cream. Add to the dry ingredients and blend well. Gather the dough into a ball and put in the fridge. Let it chill for at least an hour for easier rolling.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
On a floured surface roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness (for crispier cookies make it slightly thinner, for chewier ones slightly thicker). Cut into shapes. Place on a lightly buttered cookie sheet. If desired sprinkle with sugar crystals.
Bake for 6 - 8 minutes, or until lightly brown on the bottom. They might still be a bit uncooked in the middle, but when they cool this will result in them being chewy. Place the cookies on a wire cooling rack.
Once cool the cookies are ready for you to enjoy immediately or to decorate! Have fun!
