ahh sugar sugar

I made these sugar cookies for the first time a couple weeks ago. They were easy to make and very yummy!

In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.


In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla.


Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.


Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.


Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 375 degrees, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.


Make some yummy icing, or buy some in a can ... whatever floats your boat! Then, add some food coloring to it.


Mix well


Spread a good amount of icing onto the cookies and eat up! Or do as I did---eat a couple with your hubby, wrap up the rest, and give them to your neighbors before you eat every last one of them :)



Sugar Cookies
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
