BEST Sugar Cookie Recipe

With Christmas coming and all the parties and get-together's I love quick and easy recipes for things I can bring along or serve. I tried out this recipe and it is probably the best sugar cookie recipe I have come across. It's so easy, you probably already have the ingredients, you don't have to chill the dough and they taste amazing! So here's my sugar cookie recipe.

Ingredients:
1 Cup butter, softened
1 Cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together butter and sugar until smooth 

Beat in egg and extracts

In a separate bowl mix together flour and baking powder and slowly add to the butter/sugar mixture

You can either flour your counter, roll out the dough and use cookie cutters OR

you can make 1" balls like I did and place them on the cookie sheet. 

Use something with a flat surface and push the cookies down so they are flat. I used a measuring cup.

Now bake your cookies for 6-10 minutes, This depends on the thickness of the cookies.

Now once they're removed from the oven, let them cool for a couple minutes. 

Using a deep spoon, push in the centre of your cookie. 

This leaves a spot for icing. Use a piping bag to add the icing to your cookies. It was red food colouring for the icing but it turned pink.

And there you got. The easiest, most delicious sugar cookies.
