Hey there foodies! Happy National Cookie Day! Today we celebrate all things cookie and what a perfect time to share my favorite sugar cookie recipe! This is a beyond easy recipe and it will be a big hit even when it’s not cookie day. As always enjoy and happy eating!
What you need:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 sticks of butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
- Optional: cookie icing
Method:
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt
- In a separate bowl, mix egg, milk and vanilla
- Add liquids into dry bowl and mix
- Add butter and mix until dough forms a ball(I like to use my hands)
- Cover and set in fridge for at least an hour
- When ready, make dough balls (about 1-1 1/2 tbsp of dough worth) and gently flatten ball with palms. (Don’t make it too thin…it will make the cookies come out hard)
- Bake in oven on 350 degrees for 10 minutes
- Allow to cool before adding any icing
- Enjoy!
