Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture until combined. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm but still pliable, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Transfer half of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment; roll to just under 1/4-inch thick. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, 30 minutes. Repeat with other half of dough.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Using a craft knife and the template (or a cookie cutter), cut out cookies and space 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.

Bake until golden on edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.

                I had to make adjustments to the flour, adding more, but it was really easy and tasted fantastic!!

                This is far the BEST cookie recipe I have ever made. Do not believe all the bad reviews. These people are not following the recipe correctly. I refrigerated mine overnight and then let them sit for ten minutes. Then I cut them out and baked them.  You won't believe how great they taste!

                Needs more fat or liquid. It was so crumbly that I couldn't roll it out.  I'm back to my old standby Betty Crocker recipe.

                If you can follow a recipe then you are going to make some delicious sugar cookies for Christmas! I made these last year and everyone loved them. I made them again yesterday and now I can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar. I'll need to make more before Christmas now....Anyway, I'm a little surprised by a few of the bad reviews for these. They obviously missed an ingredient or just don't know how to follow instructions. It takes some time to make a few batches but they're worth it!

                I am a bit confused about your instructions.  On point 2 you state to preheat the oven at 325 degrees ( am I correct to assume that is Fahrenheit?), then on point 3 you stated to work on the dough and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes, and then an additional 15 minutes before putting into the oven?  so why I am preheating the oven for 45 minutes?....

                I made these yesterday.  The dough is quite crumbly but I didn't have any serious problems when rolling it out or cutting my cookies.  If you are using cookie cutters, skip the freezer and just get to cutting.  The cookies are delicious!!!  The recipe says it makes a dozen or so cookies but I probably got three times that amount.

                This recipe is terrible. I couldn't get past rolling out the dough. It crumbled as soon as my polling pin touched it. 
                
                Don't bother wasting your ingredients.
