Mom's Famous Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 ½ cups flour I like to use Pillsbury for these
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line cookie sheets with parchment.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla.
  • Add flour, powder and salt to form dough.
  • I like to roll this dough out right on the cookie sheet with another piece of parchment on top of it and only a drop of flour sprinkled on top of the dough.
  • Use cookie cutters.
  • Add sprinkles.
  • Bake 8-10 mins depending on the size of your cookies until lightly golden.
  • Let cool.
