Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies

24 Cookies 

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Soft (room temperature butter)
• 1 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar for rolling the dough in
• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1 Teaspoon Almond Extract
• 1 Egg
• 2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Use two cookie sheets and line them with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl mix butter (with a hand mixture) until creamy. Add in the sugar, then egg until creamy. Add in almond and vanilla extract until all combined.
4. Add in baking powder and flour and mix well.
5. In a small dish add the 1/4 cup of extra sugar and any sprinkles you prefer to decorate with. I prefer natural color sprinkles.

6. Roll the dough into one inch balls and then roll in sugar and or sprinkles. Place on the cookie sheet about two inches apart from each other. I can usually fit about 9 cookies each on a sheet.
7. For soft and gooey cookies, ONLY bake for 10 minutes, not a second later 🙂
8. Place on a cooling rack or plate and enjoy 🙂
