Remudamom Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I didn't see your request for the sugar cookie recipe. Here it is. I like my sugar cookies crunchy, so I bake them til they get that way. 1 and 3/4 C flour 1/8 t salt 1/2 t baking powder Combine these and set aside 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) 3/4 C sugar Beat together Add 1 large egg 1 t vanilla Combine everything. Divide in half, refrigerate 1 hour. Cut shapes and chill another 15 minutes. Then I bake at about 350 until mine are crispy, but you might not want crispy, so ymmv. This is a good recipe I like that holds it's shape and still tastes good!! I think I have pics, let me look....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Here is a pic of the first cookies. They looked better when they dried and the later ones were prettier. It takes a bit of practice so don't let these pics discourage you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Here is my best, best, BEST tip for sugar cookies. When you roll out the dough, use powdered sugar to flour the rolling pin and board. That way the dough does not absorb additional flour, and does not become tough. Also, that way the cookies have lovely extra bit of sweetness to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of sugar cookies because they are so dry and tasteless. I'm hoping that between Remudamom recipe and your tip that I'll find have great tasting sugar cookies.
