Easy Sugar Cookies Recipe

This is one quick easy recipe that you will surely love, especially if you have kids. All you will need is 3 cups of all purpose flour, 3 quarters of a tablespoon of baking powder, one quarter of salt, 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of sugar, 1 beaten egg and 1 tablespoon of milk.

If you want to cook quick sugar cookies you will first need to sift together baking powder, salt and flour and leave that aside. Then the butter and the sugar has to be placed in a large enough bowl and mixed together till we get a light color. We recommend that you use an eletric mixer for that. Then add the milk and eggs and restart the mixing procedure. The mixer has to be put on low speed next and we gradually put in flour. The ending mixture has to be able to pull away easily from the bowl sides. We thus gain a dought that we should divide in 2 then wrap and put in the fridge for around 2 hours.

The next step is to heat the oven to around 275 F degrees. The dough will have to be rolled on a surface that has some powdered sugar on it. Pay attention to only unwrapping one piece of dough at a time from the refrigerator. The dough has to be rolled at a thickness of a quarter of an inch. Now move it around and make sure that it does not stick. The secret is to keep the dough chilled and not let it warm so you will have to be quick. Now you can easily cut the doug in the desired shapes and put them in a greased baking sheet in your oven, ready to be cooked for around 7 to 9 minutes. Make sure that there is a distance of at least 1 inch between each cookie. You have to take out the cookies from the oven when they get a brown color right on the edges. We recommend tha after around 3 to 4 minutes of being put into the oven the cookies have to be rotated. After the cookies are taken out of the oven you should let them cool as fast as possible. A regular cooling right on a wire rack is more than enough. You can then serve them as they are or ice them. The Sugar Cookies will be perfect for serving for up to 1 week if you store them in a container that is airtight.
