Simple Sugar Cookies

Ingredients • 3 cups all-purpose flour • ¾ tsp baking powder • ¼ tsp salt • 1 cup butter, softened • 1 cup sugar • 1 egg, beaten • 1 ½ tsp vanilla • 1 Tbs milk

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch pie pan or muffin pan.

In a large bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Make a well in the center.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and oil. With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry just until there are only a few lumps remaining. Don’t overmix!

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the corn bread comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Cut the cornbread into wedges and serve. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until light in color.

Add the egg, vanilla and milk and beat to combine.

Gradually add flour and beat until mixture comes together.

Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar and roll out dough to ¼ inch thick and checking the dough frequently to make sure it is not sticking. Cut into desired shapes, place at least 1-inch apart on parchment lined sheet pan.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes at 350 F.
