Rolled sugar cookies like the kind you can decorate or soft scooped kind?

This is the one I have been making since I was a kiddo, and I made it for the first time in a few years this weekend and it comes out so nicely. I did end up baking them a little longer as my cookies were a little thicker :) Also, I used parchment paper.

I do let them chill overnight as the results are really good:

Ingredients:

1/2 c butter 3/4 c sugar 1 egg 1-1/2 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c flour 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda

Cream together: ½ cup butter/margarine and ¾ cup sugar.

Beat in 1 egg and 1-1/2 tsp vanilla.

Sift together 1-1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt. Stir into creamed mixture.

Chill dough 1 hour minimum (overnight is best).

Roll out on floured board (about 3/8 inch thick). Cut with cookie cutters, place on lightly greased baking sheets (or place on parchment paper). Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 6 to 8 minutes.

Mine is super simple and works well. It's really easy to play about with and try different variations. 3 parts Flour... 2 parts Butter... 1 part Sugar How much flour will depend on your exact ingredients so add more as necessary. It should be dry enough to roll around and shape in your hand and peel it off a dusted surface without sticking. It shouldn't be so dry that it cracks when you're shaping it. I usually end up needing to add quite a bit more flour cos I use a really soft butter. I cook them at about 160°c for 10 ish minutes (depending on size and thickness). I like them rather soft so I pull them out just as they're starting to brown a little on the edges. The tops are usually still a bit wet, they dry as they cool. You can also leave them in for longer to get more crunch. You can take them out, try one and put them back if it's not done enough for you. I don't bother chilling them before I cook them, but you certainly can. You should also be able to freeze them. If you want to make them chocolate a bit like Oreos you can substitute some of the flour for dark cocoa powder. I like to do that and then sprinkle them with some sugar when they're cooked and cooling. More on reddit.com
