ugar cookies all baked and painted. I have used this recipe for 20 years. Just recently I have added the egg yolk, though you dont have to
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk (optional)
1 tsp vanilla (I use vanilla bean paste as I like to see the flecks if the vanilla bean)
2 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour
Preheat the oven to 370
Sift the flour and baking powder
Keep aside
Beat butter and sugar till soft
Add the egg, egg yolk (optional) and vanilla, and beat well, scraping down the sides
Add the flour and mix till it becomes a dough
Roll out between parchment paper or seran wrap
Place in parchment lined cookie sheet and refrigerate till firm
Bake for 12-14 minutes till the bottom is golden
