Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe (vanilla)

This is my sister Mari's (nickname Maich) recipe. I use this all the time and the kids love it so much! We don't like sweet sweets/desserts. All my recipes are yummy and yet not overly sweet so it's perfect for the healthy family.


Maich's Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup butter/margarine

3/4 cup white granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

***Bake at 350F for 8-10 mins, or until just golden***

Steps:

1) In one bowl, cream butter and sugar together until smooth.  Add eggs and vanilla.

2) In another bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder.

3) Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Roll into a ball. Divide that ball in half and wrap both up in plastic wrap. Put in refrigerator and cool for 2 hrs.

4) Roll dough and use cookie cutters to make cookie shapes.

5) Put on tray and bake 8-10 mins or until golden. Let cool on racks and decorate with icing or desired decorations.

**You can add sugar sprinkles to the unbaked dough cookie shapes before baking and they will stay on cookie and look pretty!**

Enjoy!!
