sugar cut-out cookies
Lara Armstrong
I got this from a friend’s sister, and they are the best sugar cookies I’ve ever had!
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg
2 ½ c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbs. orange juice
1 Tbs. vanilla
In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well. Add flour/baking powder mixture a little at a time. Combine OJ and vanilla, and add to the mixture. Mix well. Chill dough, then roll out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Bake 6-10 minutes at 400°, until cookies are golden around the edges.
I usually then frost them – sometimes with an icing made of powdered sugar, milk, and a little vanilla (just play around until it’s the consistency you want), and sometimes with cake frosting when I’m feeling lazy.
