Quick Easy Sugar Cookies Recipe

---

Quick and easy sugar cookies that taste like grandma's homemade holiday cookies but are as simple as slice and bake. this recipe evolved because friends were craving dessert but i only had pantry ingredients and no baking powder. i used more baking soda as a substitution and they worked like a charm. two dozen cookies, gone in a flash.

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 375f in a bowl , mix flour and baking soda.

---

In a larger bowl , cream sugar and softened butter until smooth.

---

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

---

Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined.

I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine.

Hand roll into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Optional: roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.

Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
