I never made sugar cookies because I never found a recipe that I likes. My second oldest son, Panda loves sugar cookies and was always asking me to make them. I told him that I didn't make them because I didn't have a good recipe. One day Panda came home from kindergarten with this recipe in hand and said, "Mom, make these. They are good!" I made them and love them! Now I make sugar cookies for Panda!
1 cup sugar
¾ cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups flour (a little more may be needed is dough is too soft)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Put sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla in a bowl and beat until creamy. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover the bowl and put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Roll out dough, making sure you spread some flour down first. Cut the dough into hearts or whatever you like.
Bake the cookies on a greased cookie sheet for 7-9 minutes.
Poured Cookie Icing
This icing takes food coloring really well. You can even get a really good black and red with this!
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoon light corn syrup
Place sugar and milk in bowl. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Add corn syrup and mix well. For filling in areas, use thinned icing (add small amounts of light corn syrup until desired consistency is reached).
I usually use the Poured Cookie Icing or a Buttercream Icing for these cookies.
