National Sugar Cookie Day

How to bake melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated

• 1/2 cup Earth Balance Buttery Sticks

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 3/4 cups gluten free flour

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and sugar either with a whisk or handheld mixer. Soften the butter if pulling straight from the fridge by heating it up in the microwave in 10 second increments.

2. Add the egg and mix on low.

3. Add the vanilla and mix for 30 seconds.

4. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing for 1 minute on low and then with a spatula or wooden spoon until dough comes together.

5. Roll into 1/2 TBSP balls and in any desired add-ons like peppermint crumbs, cocoa powder, or sugar. Chill for 30 minutes, preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Once chilled, bake on a parchment laid baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Voila! Delicious!
