No-chill Cutout Sugar Cookies


This is a nice sugar cookie which doesn't require that you chill the dough before you roll it out. We recommend you roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper to prevent sticking.

Makes about 24

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Dough will be stiff. Do not chill dough. Divide dough in half. Roll each half about 1/8 inch thick. Dip cutters into flour before each use. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet on middle rack of oven for 8-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.

Would make this again.
Made the cookies with 2 grandkids. Quick, easy to rework, forgiving for re rolling etc (necessary with the young'ns cutting out). Did make them thicker, 1/4" perhaps. Substituted canola oil and oil based magarine for 1/2 the butter. Made a double recipe. Decided to add 3 tsp cinnamon & 1 1/2 nutmeg to make spice cookies. Yes, made like this, more like a shortbread than a sugar cookie. Very nice with a cup of coffee. Made this way, not at all crumbly or dry, even with extra flour for rolling (did not use wax paper). Good fun! five stars

This recipe was not good. Too much flour, not much taste, and needed one or two more eggs. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

Way too crumbly. Made 3 cookies before I had to throw it away. one star

We make cut-out cookies every year and this is the worst recipe I have tried. The dough was very cumbly and almost impossible to work with. We ended up throwing half the dough away because it wouldn't roll out. the baked cookies tasted like flour. one star
