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.

This is a nice, good cookie. The dough is buttery, moist and good. We tryed it with frosting and sprinkles and it was a little to sweet so we made another batch with just sprinkles and it was perfect i recomend making these cookies for holidays because you can make them any cutouts you want.
we made them for Christmas and had gingerbreadmen, Christmas trees, snowmen and other Christmas shape they were deliciouse. Were planning to make these again.

It was good and quick, but needed a lot more flour in order to stop the goopyness.

This great recipe was a life-saver. We needed sugar cookies - NOW! No time for hours of refrigeration. Cookies were easy to roll and cut, and they tasted great!
