Easy Sugar Cookies **Very Good and No Refrigeration time!

These are super easy to make and taste really good
no chilling time is required in the refrigerator, these are good to use for
sugar cookies with decoration on top or just plain
our family loves them!


1 cup of butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups SUGAR
1 EGG
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking SODA
1/2 teaspoon Baking POWDER

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar, then beat in the egg and vanilla,
gradually add dry ingredients until mixed well,
then dip out and roll into rounded teaspoons of dough balls
bake on ungreased cookie sheet or SILICONE BAKING MAT

they need 8 to 10 minutes baking time they will be a golden color when done
let set for a minute before removing from cookie sheet or mat

preheat your oven to 375 degrees to bake..then bake for about 8 minutes for soft chewy cookies
at 10 minutes for me they tend to be more crispy

enjoy the cookies!! Decorate with sugar sprinkles or we like to decorate them with white icing recipe sometimes, just a light coating adds a bit more sweetness
