My bf is picky…oh man if  he is! All he wants to eat is salty Chinese style soups…which yeah, are tasty but COME ON MAN! Give me a break here! I need to bake and experiment with new recipes all the time and I cannot, I repeat, I CANNOT, eat all I cook by myself!…for some obvious reasons…

When last Friday he asked me to make him sugar cookies I jumped out of the chair, ran in the kitchen and started baking…I was the happiest girl on earth…and trust me, I really was!

Sugar cookies are delicious and simple and delicious and sweet and crumbly and delicious and…I don’t know what else to say…They are just divine!

Let’s bake baby 😉

Ingredients (for about 30 cookies):

• 1-1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Frosting

In a bowl place butter and sugar

beat until fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract

mix well

Mix flour and baking powder and slowly add it to the butter/egg/sugar mixture

Beat until you have a smooth dough

Wrap the dough into plastic wrap and refrigerate till you get a firm roll (I kept mine in the fridge for about 2 hours).

On a floured surface roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (1 cm)

With a floured cookie cutter cut out the desired shapes…I picked this flour shape cutter…cute, isn’t it?

Place the cookies on a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 20-30 min. This will firm the dough preventing the cookies from losing their shape.

Bake at 190 C for about 8-10 min

Let’ em cool down then spread each cookie with vanilla frosting…I was too lazy to make my own frosting so I used the Betty Crocker’s one.

And here they are…

Let’s give them a closer look

Let’s give them an even closer look….

Oooooh, my little babies 🙂
