Sugar Cookies

How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
Step 3
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated (the dough will be stiff). Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Step 4
On a floured surface, roll the dough to ¼ inch thick. Using cookie cutters, cut into shapes. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 1½ inches apart. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using.
Step 5
Bake until just beginning to brown at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 6
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Cookies were a big hit! Going to try with a little cinnamon next batch.

These were the best sugar cookies I (or many people in several groups I have made them for) have ever had. The 10 ways to use sugar cookie dough article also makes the best of left over dough (hah!), or just a need to try something new.

I love this recipe! I'm not a baker, but my cookies turned out great ~ they look just like the picture. I rolled my dough out right onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet to avoid trying to transfer the cutouts. This saved a big step and they looked great! They taste delicious, too.
