With the holidays just around the corner, it’s crucial that everyone have his or her own basic sugar cookie recipe.

 

A simple and delicious holiday treat, sugar cookies are neutral ground for nearly all taste buds. And they’re perfect for holiday parties!

 

Here’s a great recipe to keep your holiday guests chipper all month long:

 

Holiday Sugar Cookie Recipe

 

Ingredients

 

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup softened butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk

Sprinkles or colored sugar, for decorating

 

Directions

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

 

In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

 

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. Add enough of the buttermilk to moisten the dough and make it soft, not wet.

 

Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. With a brush or fingers, moisten the top of each cookie with the remaining buttermilk and slightly flatten the top of each cookie. Sprinkle with raw sugar or colored sprinkles.

 

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly golden. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing to cool on a rack.
