Today was our second time using this sugar cookie recipe and I just have to share because it's so simple and delicious!
Low Fat Sugar Cookies
5 T butter, softened
3/4 C sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract (this time I used 1/2 t lemon extract & 1/2 t vanilla - it was yummy!)
1 2/3 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and continue mix. Finally, add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until dough forms. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for two hours in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters dipped in flour to make cutouts. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and decorate. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack after 1 minute to cool.
Makes about 30 cookies, depending on size of cookie cutters used and thickness of dough.
