1 cup (two sticks) salted butter, softened ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoon baking powder 3 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream butter, sugars, egg & egg yolk, and extract until smooth.
Add flour and baking powder, and mix well. Dough should be soft and moldable but not sticky.
There is no need to chill this dough. Roll out in one big or several smaller batches, to about ¼ inch thick.
Cutout cookies in whatever shapes you desire, and bake for 6-8 minutes {I do 6 minutes in my oven and they come out perfect every time!}.
op with frosting of choice and sprinkles if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Alternations: plant based butter can be subbed for dairy free cookies, and gluten free 1:1 baking flour can be subbed for all purpose.
