Vanilla Sugar Cookies

Video recipe #3 is here! These cookies turned out pretty good, would go with 9/10, would make again. Next time, I will use parchment on the cookie sheets, as the bottoms were fairly stuck, despite using nonstick style cookie sheets. The cooking time was not correct as written; I had to go 10 minutes and even at that, I think I could have gone 11 or even 12.

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour (11.68 oz.)

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

colored sugar (not sanding sugar)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until well blended.

4. Gradually mix in the reserved flour mixture until well blended.

5. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

6. Heat oven to 400°F. (next time: line baking sheets with parchment)  Roll dough into 1" balls, then toss the balls in the colored sugar until completely coated. Place on baking sheet at least 2" apart.

7. Bake for 10-12 min. After removing from oven, let rest on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
