My grandmother always had sugar cookies in her pantry, and I now regularly bake these wonderful cookies to share with friends. We grandchildren would empty that big jar quickly because those cookies were the best! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
5 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Cover and refrigerate 15-30 minutes or until easy to handle.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out cookies into desired shapes. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
3. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 8 dozen.
