How to Make Great Value Sugar Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
  7. Shape the chilled dough into a log (approximately 2 inches in diameter), wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. Once frozen, slice the log into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  9. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 5-9 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. They may appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  11. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
