Sugar Cookies

Author Vianney Rodriguez

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons brandy or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar; mix until light and fluffy. With mixer running, add egg, brandy, and vanilla; mix until well combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add reserved flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  2. Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape into 1 disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
  4. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using an oval platter cut into a large egg shape and carefully transfer to prepared baking sheet. Leftover dough can be rolled and cut once more. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes; do not allow to brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
  5. With a knife carefully cut out cracked egg top.
  6. Decorate
