This is my great-grandmother's sugar cookie recipe. Ingredients:
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup butter |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3 tablespoons cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) .
2. Over a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar. Cut in butter and blend with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in lightly beaten egg, cream, and vanilla. Blend well. Dough may be chilled, if desired.
3. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Sprinkle with sugar; cut into desired shapes. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets.
4. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until delicately brown.
