Hello everyone! For Valentine’s Day I decided to make a couple batches of sugar cookies. I made these cookies back for Halloween and Christmas and were super delicious. I can’t stop eating them! Sugar cookies are always fun to make especially if you have little kids who love to decorate cookies. Enjoy!
Classic Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to creamed mixture. Combine thoroughly. With hands shape dough into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours or overnight. Grease cookie sheets lightly or use parchment paper. On lightly floured board or counter, roll 1/2 to 1/3 of dough at a time, keeping rest in fridge. For softer cookies, roll 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut with floured cookie cutter. Place 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 for 8 minutes.

Notes
Even though you have to refrigerate the cookie dough for 2-3 hours, it is totally worth it! Having the cookies sit in the fridge helps the dough roll out nicely and cut into perfect shapes.
