EASY CUT-OUT SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl; set aside.
• Place sugar and butter into bowl of heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat at medium speed until well combined. Add egg, vanilla and almond extract; beat until well mixed. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed until just combined.
• While removing dough from bowl, knead to incorporate crumbs and form smooth dough. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.
• Cut into shapes with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to brown around edges. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.

EASIEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds. Butter should be completely melted but shouldn't be hot.
• In a large bowl, mix butter with the sugars until well-combined.
• Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Please read the recipe note about properly measuring flour.
• Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
• Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.3

QUICK, EASY SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda.
• In a larger bowl, cream sugar and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine. Hand roll into balls (teaspoon size) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
• Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes away from the heat before devouring.
