Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles or colored sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. With a stand mixer on HIGH, beat butter and sugar for 1 minute or until creamy. Reduce speed and beat in egg and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients until combined.
  4. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter. Transfer to the parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar, if desired.
  5. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned on edges.
  6. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Remove from parchment paper and cool completely on wire rack.

Serves: 36 

Test Kitchen Tip: Use a small cookie cutter to cut out the center of each cookie. Remove center and fill center with colored sugar. Bake centers with the larger cookies according to the recipe.
