Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Powdered sugar for rolling out dough
  • Sprinkles or icing, if desired
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Do not use the Kitchen Mixer for this. In a different large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together using an electric mixer, until well combined.
  2. Add egg and milk and continue to beat until well combined. With the mixer set to a low speed, slowly add the flour mixture until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  3. Divide the dough in half, tightly wrap it in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Lightly sprinkle work surface and a rolling pin with powdered sugar. Remove one ball of dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough out so that it is ¼ inch thick.
  6. Using your favorite cookie cutter(s), cut cookies from the dough. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between each cookie.
  7. If desired, top with sprinkles. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies are golden, turning the sheet half way through. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before topping with icing, as desired. Serve.
