**Sugar Cookie Mix Betty Crocker**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: colored sugar or sprinkles for decorating
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This will be the base for your sugar cookie mix.
2. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients and butter, mixing until the dough comes together and forms a soft ball.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and cut out your cookies later.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
7. If desired, sprinkle colored sugar or decorative sprinkles on top of the cookies before baking.
8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough until all the cookies are baked.
Enjoy these delightful homemade sugar cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for the perfect treat any time of the day.
