Recipe: Classic Sugar Cookie

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix on low speed.
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the creamed butter, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and gently roll them in sugar.
Place the sugared dough balls on a baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball to about ½ inch thick using the bottom of a drinking glass.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
Cool the cookies on wire racks.
