Amanda's Notes:

These sugar cookies turn out best if taken out of the oven a few minutes before the actual time stated below. I normally take them out around 8 minutes and no later, but because every oven can be different I would experiment first and find what works best for you :). I also only use real butter, and I use granulated sugar (other sugar seems to harden and flatten them). Granulated just gives it much more flavor too. During the holidays, I picked up some peppermint candy baking chunks at the local grocery store and tossed those into these cookies as well, and they bake up wonderfully. Enjoy!

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
