Watch how to make this recipe.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Serve as is or ice as desired. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.
YAY There done! Thanks to you Shar to the Rona, I have perfect sugar cookies that my grandson is munching on as we speak. Thank you friend. You rock. ;))
Well, first you shouldn't make cookies in secret, you should let the kids do the work. Put one of Dad's shirts on backwards for an apron.
Second, the best cookie recipe is on the back of the Quaker Oats box. Whiz the oats in a blender, and then substitute ingredients. Like use all white sugar and you have sugar cookies. Add ginger and you have gingerbread. Substitute peanut butter for shortening and you have peanut butter cookies. And so on.
Gingerbread men: Beat butter and powdered sugar to make frosting. Divide it into portions and add food colors. Spoon it into a sandwich bag and show the kids how to cut a corner off and twist it to draw on the cookies.
