Sugar Cookie Recipe ( Birthday Treats )

    The Perfect Treats For Ever Occassion 

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly chilled (cool to the touch, but not rock hard)

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour

  • pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy, about 1 minute.

  2. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and almond extracts until just combined.

  3. Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time until all flour is combined.

  4. Turn dough out on to a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap up and place in the fridge until ready to use. Dough can be rolled out right away if your in a pinch.

  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  6. Place a piece of parchment paper down on the counter top. Roll dough out on the parchment paper, using minimal flour to keep the rolling pin from sticking.

  7. Cut dough out to the desired shapes. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until just barely brown around the edge.

NOTES

If you don't have powdered sugar, replace with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
