Tender Sugar Cookies

Contributed by Sheera Queen of the Universe

  • 1 c butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 c all-purpose flour

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 second. Add one cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until dough is easy to handle. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in remaining 1 cup sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  4. Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes until tops are slightly crackled and sides are set (do not let edges brown). Transfer to wire racks and let cool.

Makes about 60.
