Zubereitung von Annette's Basic Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, sift together 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Flatten each half into a disc.
- Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until firm.
- Remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
- Place cookies on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the lemon glaze over the top of each cookie.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade sugar cookies!
