This quick and easy sugar cookie recipe is perfect for any occasion, and can be made with just the basic ingredients you already have in your cupboard. They are soft and sooo buttery.
These are about as easy as using a pre-made mix but they taste WAY better.
They remind me so much of my Grandmothers. She didn’t call them sugar cookies, though, she called them teacakes!
One warning: These are so soft and light tasting that you could easily eat 4-6 and not feel like you’ve over done it.
Grandma’s Easy Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
2 3⁄4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1⁄2 cups butter

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl; set the mixture aside.
Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Once combined, slowly blend in the dry ingredients until evenly mixed.
Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Place on the center rack of your oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes (or until golden brown). Let the cookies sit for 2 minutes before removing from the pan to cool on wire racks.
