Sugar Cookies
Makes about 3 Dozen, 3-inch cookies
Ingredients:
· 1 cup sugar
· 1 large egg
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 3 cups all-purpose flour
· ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until creamy.
2. Gradually add sugar, beating well.
3. Add egg and vanilla, beating well.
4. Gradually add flour and salt, beating until blended.
5. Divide dough in half, cover and chill 1 hour.
6. Roll each portion of dough to ¼-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
7. Cut with desired cookie cutters.
8. Place on lightly greased baking sheets.
9. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned.
10. Cool cookies 1 minute on baking sheets, remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Note: For a neat twist in icing the cookies, try melted Candy Wafers! Paint it on with flat paintbrushes. Allow cookies to dry before storing.
Another great way to ice your cookies is by using a canister of buttercream icing. Heat in microwave for about 15-20 seconds, until thin/runny. Tint in the colors of your choice (with food coloring) and paint onto cooled cookies! Add pretty sprinkles and edible glitter for a little pizzazz!

Gosh, well tonight's Severe Weather is causing my lights to flicker. I best get off my laptop before I wind up losing power (as well as the ability to post this recipe!) If you live within the areas of this crazy weather, then stay safe!
Goodnight friends! xoxo
