  • Cup to press the cookies

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Butter extract (found in the baking aisle by the vanilla extract)
  • White sugar sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F
  • In a mixing bowl,combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and confectioner’s sugar for about 30-60 seconds
  • Add the egg to your butter/sugar mixture
  • Mix on medium speed for 30-60 seconds
  • Add in the butter extract
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients from step #1 to the butter/sugar mixture, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Place rounded dough pieces on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper

  • Bake for about 7 minutes or just before they turn too golden. Watch carefully because sugar cookies cook very quickly!
