My friend Shawn made the most awesome sugar cookies and is kind enough to share her recipe! These are not Lofthouse-type fluffy cookies, but denser and completely delicious. The notes at the bottom are hers as well.
1 c butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 t almond flavoring
Measure:
3 c flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
Mix together and roll out the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Put on a cookie sheet and chill for 30 min. Take out, peel the top layer of waxed paper off, cut out cookies and place on ungreased cookie sheet. The secret to a great sugar cookie is not to touch the dough adn don't add any more flour. Hence the waxed paper roll out. Bake at 350 for 8-12 min.
If you want a more chewy cookie, bake 8-9 min. I like the bottoms lightly browned, so I do 12 min. The tops not get brown. I whip up a butter cream frosting with a little amond flavoring in that as well.
