Sugar Cookies

One of our favorite holiday traditions is decorating cookies together. There’s nothing like watching the creativity and personality come out of children in such unique ways! My favorite thing about this recipe is that the dough doesn’t spread out all over the sheet when you bake the cookies so that you can retain all of the unique cookie cutter shapes that you have!

Sugar Cookies

2 c butter
2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond emulsion (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
5 1/2 - 6 c flour

Cream butter and sugar together for five minutes, then add one egg at a time beating for 2 to 3 minutes after each egg addition. Add the vanilla and almond emulsion. Combine 5 1/2 cups of flour with the baking powder and salt, and add Flour mixture one cup at a time to the creamed butter mixture. Add the extra half cup of flour if needed. Bake at 350°for approximately eight minutes. Cool and ice with royal icing or cream cheese frosting.
