So this recipe is super easy, even easier than the brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe. I will say though, this recipe makes a rather large amount of cookies. For our family, we only have to make one batch, but there is 10 of us. (ok, so 9 since the youngest can't eat cookies yet ;)) One batch makes about 5 dozen cookies. So if you want a smaller batch, I would suggest cutting it in half, or maybe in thirds. But if you've got a big family, hosting a party, or just love cookies....this should be right up your alley ;)
Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup butter softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
5 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Directions
Cream butter and sugar until smooth
Beat in eggs and vanilla
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour (or overnight)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness
Cut into any kind of shape you'd like. (even if you don't have a cookie cutter in the shape you want, you can always form it with your fingers or use a knife to cut it out.)
Place 1 inch apart on un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake 6-8 minutes or until the bottom is a light golden brown. Cool completely.
Sugar Cookie Frosting
