Introduction

My name is Adi and I'm 13 years old. I love cooking, and to get started I will share my most favorite recipie:

SUGAR COOKIES

(The Greatest Cookies Ever)

Ingredients:

1 stick of softened butter

3/4 sugar

1 egg

2 tsp. of vanilla

1 1/2 cups of flour

1/4 tsp. of salt

Equipment:

Measuring cups and spoons

2 greased cookie sheets

Large mixing bowl

Small mixing bowl

Mixer or fork

Flat surface

Plastic wrap

Flour

Rolling pin

Cutting tools 

1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Cream the butter and sugar in the large mixing bowl.

3. Add the egg and vanilla to the creamed butter and sugar. Blend well,.

4. Mix dry ingredients in small mixing bowl. (I don't usually do this, because I see it as pointless

to dirty another bowl just to mix the flour and tiny bit of salt.) Add to the large bowl.

5.Chill the dough for 15 minutes. (You don't have to do this, but I would

if you're planning on cutting the dough into shapes. It will be more

stiff and easier to work with.)

6. Place in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. (Watch them carefully.

they burn very easily.)

7. Allow them to cool before you decorate or eat them.

8. ENJOY! :)

Sometimes I make a simple frosting to put on them, made out of a stick or so of butter, about a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring, about a tablespoon of milk, and after you mix those well, add enough powder sugar until it begins to look and taste like frosting. If you would want colored frosting add VERY little of food coloring. Trust me- a little bit goes a long way.

I usually double this recipie, because there is not much dough from this recipie, and if you have a big family like mine, there may not be enough.

This is my favorite recipie because everyone loves them. They're usually gone within 5 minutes after I make them.
