Butter Cookies

I always look forward to making butter cookies for Christmas! My co-workers really enjoy it. This recipe is super simple to make. 

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1 1/2 sticks of butter softened 
1 cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp of vanilla

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Then cream the butter, sugar, egg and add to the flour mixture. Then add the vanilla. 
Scoop the dough into a tablespoon round ball on a baking sheet. My trick is   with the bottom of a wine glass, dip into sugar then flattened the tablespoon of dough on the baking sheet. Makes the cookies have a nice circle shape and a sugar topping. 
Bake for 10 minutes.
