Brown Sugar Cookies

2 cups sifted flour, less if possible
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tablespoon 15% cream (any kind of cream from 10% to 35% will work fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
granulated sugar, for decorating

Blend 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and cream. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then add enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill several hours. Preheat oven to 375 F. Place on a lightly floured cutting board and roll to 1/8" thickness. Use floured cookie cutters to cut into shapes. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake 8 minutes.

Would make this again.
Beautiful texture, perfect looking, really bland cookies. I followed the recipe to the letter, but next time I'll add some almond extract or something to give it a bit of flavour. Really exceptional texture though. four stars

My first batch was a little dark- but the second one I kept a closer eye on and they were PERFECT. I also skipped the salt- used Skim milk instead of cream, and only happened to have 1 tsp of vanilla. They were still good, next time I'll make sure I have enough vanilla- and keep everything else the same. Kids loved it! I made the dough in the morning, and we made the cookies before bed it was awesome! four stars

Some of the comments above are hilarious. I followed the recipe and came up with a delightful batch of cookies. If you can't judge the proper amount of flour, then please don't try anything complex-like a cake. I like using brown sugar instead of white. Maybe the problem lies with the attempt and not the recipe. four stars
