Sugar cookie recipe ❅

This year was the first year that I made sugar cookies and most of the recipes are in cups which isn't exactly the easiest measurements to be using. So I have put together the quickest easiest recipe to make the best cookies ever.

❅ 227g Unsalted butter
❅ 200g Granulated sugar
❅ 375g Plain flour
❅ Vanilla extract
❅ Almond extract
❅ 1 egg
❅ 2 teaspoons baking powder

1. Pre-heat oven to 175.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until it is smooth (at least 3 minutes).
3. Beat in extracts and egg.
4. In a separate bowl mix together your dry ingredients.
5. Add these a little at a time, as you do this your dough may become quite stiff and tough to work with. If it does wet your hands and knead your dough by hand until well combined,
6. Roll out and cut shapes, your dough should be around half a cm thick.
7.  Back for 6-8 minutes, 6 for soft cookies and 8 for crispy ones.
8.  Let cool on tray until they are firm enough to be transferred to cool on cooling rack. Let them completely cool and decorate!

I hope you enjoy these cookies!
