Sugar Cookies

Cookies were something that I had never tried before. I had about an hour after I came home from work to make these for a dinner party at a friend's place. I picked them only because I thought this would be the fastest thing to bake.

They turned out ok, I think I can make improvements to these.  I like multiple flavors and nuts in anything I eat, so I doubt I'd put in more effort into improving this recipe!

RECIPE

SERVING 
About 30-35 cookies

INGREDIENTS 


All-purpose flour - 2 3/4 cups
Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Butter - 1 cup
White sugar - 1 1/2 cups
Egg - 1
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Parchment paper
Cookie Sheet

PROCEDURE

1. Preheat oven to 375 F

2. Mix all the dry ingredients together - flour, baking soda, baking powder

3. Mix the butter and sugar well.

4. Beat Egg and add in the vanilla.

5. Now mix the egg and the butter-sugar all together and mix well.

6. Add in the dry ingredients slowly and blend in.

7. Take spoonfuls of the dough and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

It's amazing how a blob of the dough slowly spreads in the oven and becomes a flat cookie. It's fun watching the cookies bake and each one is unique!

8. Bake for about 8-10 mins. Let it cool before storing.
