How to Make Worlds Best Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in the ½ cup of granulated sugar.
  8. Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
