Simple Sugar Cookies Start by creaming together 1 cup of room temperature unsalted butter and 1 cup sugar until they two get fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes. Then add 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste and 1/4 tsp almond extract. Mix until combined. Add 3 cups of flour and mix 1 cup in at a time. Also add 1 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp salt. Continue to slowly add in the flour until the dough comes together. Split your dough in half and wrap each half in parchment paper. Let them get completely firm in the refrigerator! Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it’s about 1/4 of an inch thick. Use cookie cutters and place the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until the edges slightly start to turn golden. Use a thin spatula to move the cookies onto a cooling rack. Then enjoy! Or let completely cool before decorating 🙌🏽 #holiday #holidaytiktok #holidaycookies #sugarcookies #cookies #recipe #fyp
