Chewy buttery sugar cookies

Warning, these cookies are addictive. Super easy, classic chewy sugar cookies.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking poweder

• 1/2 teaspoon table salt

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter room temp

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 large egg

Dough assembly:

1. Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) in a bowl

2. Using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg, and beat to incorporate. Add the flour in halves, and beat on medium-low until incorporated.

Baking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Form a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, and place about 2 inches apart on sheet. If you want a little added texture, roll the cookie dough balls in sugar before placing on baking sheet (I skip this step as I think this is a little overkill, but it is delicious).

2. Bake for 12-15 minutes until barely golden brown. Cool on sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
