(picture from the web, not my baking)Here is a recipe from Penny Brown in Midland 2nd Ward- Thanks for sharing!!
Sugar Cookies
(We mostly use this one. It makes crisp, delicate cookies)
1 cup butter (not margarine), softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to butter mixture, beating at low till blended.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on greased baking sheet. Dip a smooth-bottomed glass into remaining 1/4 cup sugar and flatten balls into 1/4-inch thickenness. Sprinkle sugar over cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned; transfer to wire rack to cool.
