How to Make Star Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon extract).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (step 2) to the wet ingredients (step 1), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use star-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
