SWEETHEART SUGAR COOKIES

My grandson, Logan, loves sugar cookies, but my daughter, Jennifer could never find a sugar cookie recipe that she liked.  One day her son came home from kindergarten with this recipe.  He said, "Mom, we made these at school today.  Try them, they are good."  She tried them and ended her search for a sugar cookie recipe that she liked.

Place in bowl and beat until creamy:

       1 cup sugar

       3/4 cup butter

       2 eggs

       1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir in:

       2 1/2 cups flour (a little more may be needed is dough is too soft)

       1 teaspoon baking powder

       1 teaspoon salt

Cover the bowl and put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350^o F.

Roll out dough on floured surface. Cut the dough into hearts or whatever you like.

Bake the cookies on a greased cookie sheet for 7-9 minutes.

Cool on rack.

Frost with Poured Cookie Icing or Buttercream icing from this blog.
