Sugar Cookies Made Fast
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am no Betty Crocker. I am always in a rush, running around crazy and the last thing I have time for is fluffing flour to make cookies. The other thing about me is that I want to tell people things are homemade and taking Pillsbury dough out the fridge is not homemade to me.
So I have been on a mission to make Sugar Cookies really fast. I have tried combinations for the past week and I found the perfect mix made with the Ninja mixer. Yes you read it right, the Ninja mixer you use for juice.
Ingredients
3/4 cup Butter
1 Large Egg
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2.25 cups Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon salt (optional if you use salted butter)
3/4 Cup Sugar
Powdered Sugar for rolling out the dough
Step One
Take the butter and egg and mix in Ninja until smooth
Add vanilla, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar to butter/egg mix and mix until dough is smooth.
Step Two
Divide dough into 2 Balls
Take powdered sugar and sprinkle on aluminum or parchment
Roll out dough into 2 1/4 inch thick sheets
Step Three
Cool for one hour (this step is must). Do something fun while waiting. For me this is the hardest part
Step Four
Preheat Oven at 350 degrees, cut out shapes and decorate or not
Bake 9-10 minutes until light brown for soft center.
Crunchier cookies take 11-12 minutes.
Step Six
Eat them and share them
