Ingredients
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1. – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. – In a large bowl or a stand mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. – Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. – Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful and roll into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. – Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. – Enjoy the Vanilla Sugar Cookies with a dusting of powdered sugar or on their own.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For a chewier texture, bake the cookies for a minute or two less. Experiment with different mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips, for added flavor.
