Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.

  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 a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. Roll the dough into small, equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

  7. Using the bottom of a glass or a fork, gently flatten each cookie to your desired thickness.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.

  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Once cooled, you can enjoy these delicious Sugar Cookies From Scratch with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
