Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe:
11/2 cups icing sugar
1 cup butter, room temp
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
21/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
Directions:
Preheat oven 350 deg.
Cream butter with icing sugar, add egg and vanilla and beat well.
Stir baking powder and salt into flour and mix into butter mixture.
Wrap dough in clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Remove wrap, take half dough and roll thinly on a floured board. (I actually like to roll them on a large sheet of clear plastic wrap.)
Cut into shapes, decorate, and bake 10-12 min till lightly browned at edges.
Tips: Dip shape cutters into flour to prevent dough sticking to it.
