Basic Sugar Cookies




I think this should be the mandated "gloomy day" cookie--super easy, somewhat overlooked, yet so yummy and available when you just need that sweet itch scratched. Plus, definitely fun to photograph. Too cloudy to hit the beach today, so why not stay inside and make the house smell pretty?

I assure you, these cookies pretty much make themselves. Wet ingredients. Dry ingredients. Roll. Bake. Eat. =) (recipe courtesy, allrecipes.com)


::gathering my raw materials::


Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.


2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.




Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.


3. Bake 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.



Or...take a risk, and grab while warm and enjoy! = )
