My favorite easy rolled sugar cookie recipe. Just 4 ingredients for an easy to handle dough that is great for all of those cute cookie cutters.
Ingredients
1 1/2cupsalted butter
1 1/2cuppowdered sugar
4teaspoonsvanilla extract
3cupsall-purpose flour
Instructions
In a medium bowl, cream butter. Add sugar, scraping bowl as needed, until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until creamy. Add flour. Gather dough into two balls, flatten into a disk and put in a plastic bag. Let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough on a floured board and cut into desired shapes. Place on cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart and bake about 15 minutes until just starting to turn brown.
Let cool completely and decorate with icing as desired.
