Betty Crocker's Sugar Cookies

"I have been making these cookies every year for Christmas since I was in high school!! I roll them really thin so they are crispy, not soft/chewy and only add sprinkles. This recipe is for a double batch, but can easily be divided. **Chilling dough not included in prep time**"

directions

  • Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
  • Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
  • Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
  • Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
  • Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
  • Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.

  1. I am a baker from way back. This was the worst dough I ever worked with. I ended up throwing it all out. It was dry and gross. Typically I don't post things but, I cant help it. This is terrible.
     
  2. Cah-raaaaazy for anything that goes in the oven at 350-400 degrees and contains eggs, sugar, and flour. Made for A-NZ#60.

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! &nbsp;I also have&nbsp;two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also&nbsp;married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005.&nbsp; I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it!&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;love grilling and baking.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time!&nbsp; I can make or will attempt just about anything,&nbsp;though I rarely make&nbsp;brownies, my husband's are the best!&nbsp; Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites.&nbsp; I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day!&nbsp; Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes&nbsp;my family&nbsp;normally wouldn&rsquo;t eat&nbsp;but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>I&nbsp;love to join in&nbsp;all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes.&nbsp; Most of all though&nbsp;are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn&rsquo;t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
