With a few basic ingredients you might find in your pantry, you can make sweet sugar cookies.  You can make them very simple or decorate them as creative as your imagination.  Flour, sugar, vanilla, butter, and an egg just about sums it up.  You can can cut them in many different shapes and for this recipe I chose to cut them with a fluted shape cookie cutter made by Cuisipro.  Try this recipe any time of the year to share with your friends.

Sugar Cookies
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 of white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).  In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.  Set aside.

2.  In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until smooth.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.  Roll dough onto ungreased cookie sheet and cut or score with desired cookie shape.  Do not remove from the cookie sheet.

3.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.  Let stand on cookie sheet five minutes before removing.
