Sugar cookies, not Christmas cookies?!
Answers: I want a recipe for sugar cookies (and not Christmas cookies, because I know you need extra flour so that you can cut out the dough) that does not require cream of tartar. I want them to be large and soft and good. How can I make them big without them running together in the oven?
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake ten minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
Place fewer cookies than u normally do and space them out equally so there is room for the cookies to spread out.
