Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies
From America's Test Kitchen Cookbook

The first time I made sugar cookies it was an epic fail...the boys would not even eat them.  The dough was too try and thick and just gross. I made these yesterday and they came out great! The dough was a little too wet but overall they came out great.



2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
14 tbsp unsalted butter softened
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set aside 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl to use for coating. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat together butter and remaining sugar for 3-6 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and eggs for a minute. Mix in flour mixture slowly until it is all combined.

Wet your hands and roll 2 tablespoons of dough into a bowl. Roll in sugar and place on a pan with parchment paper.  Press with a fork or a glass bottom. Cook 10-12 minutes or until done.
