mom’s famous sugar cookies

You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging without this cookie recipe did you?

I’d like to think you trust me more than that.

We are friends after all.

Here you go!

Mom’s Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

2.5 cups of sifted flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

C of butter, softened

1 1/4 tsp vanilla

1 C of confectionary sugar

Directions:

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside

Cream butter and vanilla until butter is softened

Add confectionary sugar gradually, cream until fluffy after each addition

Mix in the dry ingredients (my mom doesn’t add all the flour because it gets too stiff and is hard to roll out)

Then, take half the dough and roll it out until 1/4 inch thick.

Put some confectionry sugar and flour down when you roll the dough out (and sprinkle on top so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin).

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Watch them, too, because they burn easily.

Enjoy!!

Do you have a favorite christmas cookie recipe? Or some other favorite treat that’s your go-to for the holidays? My grandmother makes loads and loads of different types of Christmas cookies every year. She puts them in little holiday tins and the whole time I’m visiting I’m basically just munching and munching on cookies till my teeth hurt.

It’s a once a year thing and I’m happy to indulge in it.
