I didn’t use the frosting recipe that is in the original recipe because my husband said that the cookies didn’t need it – I kind of disagree. Although they are good, I think that an extra sugary kick would have made them much better.
Ingredients
· 1 cup butter or margarine,
softened
· 3/4 cup sugar
· 1 egg
· 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
· 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
· 1 tsp. baking powder
· 1/4 tsp. salt
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter
and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
3. Combine flour, baking powder
and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
4. Place the dough in a cookie
press; form cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until
set but not brown. Cool on wire racks.
The cookies were soft and a tad buttery – not overwhelming, though. As I mentioned above, not as sweet as I would prefer, so I’ll use frosting in the future.
