Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Gently press down each ball of dough with the bottom of a glass or your palm to flatten slightly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your Winning Sugar Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
