As I've said before I have a weakness for Sugar cookies which also goes to include Butter cookies...ok...cookies in general. :-) I made this recipe before the Blue Ribbon Sugar Cookies (from a previous post) and thought I'd prefer the Blue Ribbon Sugar cookies but was wrong...they are different but both very good. Because I'm not very good at cutting out cookies I prefer to just drop these cookies by rounded tsp and they work just as well when you flatten them a little. Get Baking!
1 c butter (softened)
1 c granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1) Combine butter, sugar & egg in a large bowl.
2) Beat at medium speed until smooth & creamy. Reduce speed to LOW; add flour, orange juice, vanilla & baking powder.
3) Beat until well mixed.
4)Divide dough into thirds & wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm about 2 hrs or overnight.
5) Heat oven to 400 (I do 375).
6) Roll out dough onto lightly floured surface one third at a time (keeping the rest in the fridge) to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness.
7) Cut with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6-10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool completely & decorate if desired.
Because I just drop them by teaspoon fulls I go straight from the chilled dough to the oven.
Yield: About 3 dozen depending on cookie cutter size.
