The Most Awesome Sugar Cookies

I love SOFT sugar cookies. And have had a really hard time finding a great recipe. I found a recipe and tweeked it a little.

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Melted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Almond Extract
1 Large Egg
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 1/3 Cups Flour

Mix the ingredients in the order listed above. Mix the sugar and butter, then mix in the vanilla extract, mix in Almond extract then the egg, followed with the baking soda and baking powder and finally the flour.

Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 9-11 minutes.

Couple things that I did...

After mixing the ingredients let the dough rest for a while or put in the fridge for about 1/2 hour.

Spray your pans with some pam cooking spray.

I used a 1oz ice cream scoop.

After putting the cookie balls on the pan, take a cup and dip the bottom in some sugar and then gently press down the cookie.

If you like your cookies crispy then bake the cookies til the edges are golden. Since I like mine soft, I pulled them out as soon as one small spot was hinting the golden brown.

After cooling completely, take your favorite vanilla icing and top the cookies.
If you like add sprinkles too.

The almond extract can be substituted for additional vanilla or lemon or any flavor you might like.

ENJOY
