This is a nice sugar cookie which doesn't require that you chill the dough before you roll it out. We recommend you roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper to prevent sticking.
Makes about 241 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Dough will be stiff. Do not chill dough. Divide dough in half. Roll each half about 1/8 inch thick. Dip cutters into flour before each use. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet on middle rack of oven for 8-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.

I would make again they are very good and easy to make. However I need to know what i need to add when making these at high altitude...? they kinda fall apart when i make them this way, but falling apart or not they are still good.

My 4 year old & 2 yr old grandson made these today. We made the dough then cut them out and then we took one egg yolk and mixed it with a few drops of water and poured this into 4 easter egg cups and added a little bit of wilton icing colors (red, yellow, blue and green) into each cup and then painted the cookies. They turned out beautiful. They were so bright and shiny. My grandkids can't wait to give them to Santa tonight at the Christmas parade.

Wouldn't make again either. Dough is hard to work with, kept breaking apart. taste is ok but not the best.

Tried this recipe today and wouldnt make again. Compared to other sugar cookies recipes it is way to sweet and the dough was too dry, had to add a splash of milk to get it to mix together so i could roll it out. When cooked they are pretty dry. I suppose whether or not you like them will depend on what you like in a suagr cookie ;0).
