Title: Quick Sugar Cookie Cookie Cutters
Ingredients:
– 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon baking powder
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 ½ cups white sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Cookie cutters of your choice
– Colored sugar or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it’s easy to handle.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
7. Carefully transfer the cut-out cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. If desired, sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles on top of the cookies before baking for a festive touch.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be cautious not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, you can decorate your sugar cookies with icing, frosting, or more sprinkles to make them even more special!
