Grandma’s Soft Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

• 3-¾ cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Butter, Softened
• 1-½ cup White Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Preparation Instructions

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs in one at a time. Slowly add the vanilla and nutmeg. Gradually, add the flour mixture until well combined. Chill the dough for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator or if you’re crunched for time, use the freezer for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. On a clean floured surface, roll your dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes using any cutters you prefer!

Bake for 6-8 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges are tinged a light brown. Remove from cookie sheets. When cool, they are great to frost and decorate!
