How to Make Stupid Simple Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond/butter extract).
- Gradually add 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, one quarter cup at a time, mixing until just combined. (For rolled-out cookies, use 2 cups flour).
- If the dough is too thin, add flour 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (Cookies will spread).
- Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
