Quick, Easy Sugar Cookies Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups flour (all purpose is fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup butter (softened in microwave)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg (large)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
1 teaspoon cinnamon
sugar (for rolling the dough balls in before baking)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda.
In a larger bowl, cream sugar and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine. Hand roll into balls (teaspoon size) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes away from the heat before devouring.
