No-chill Cutout Sugar Cookies

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 24

1 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.

My four year old decided today that she HAD to make heart shaped cookies for Valentine's Day. I tried this recipe for the first time and it was great! I put some caster sugar in a plastic bag and added red food colouring and dipped the tops of the cookies in, and it made a very sparkly looking cookie. I don't understand the negative reviews above, I'll keep this recipe! five stars

douogh did not firm up--more like breadcrumbs..had to add 2 additional eggs and some vanilla for flavor. in the end, they were flavorless and boring--even iced. poop! one star

Recipe was easy to make but dough was sticky to work with. Cookies took longer to bake than time stated and tasted very salty. three stars
