Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla or other flavor of your choosing
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour*

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Cream butter and sugar together.
Add egg and vanilla. Stir.
In a separate bowl, sift baking powder and flour. Add to butter mixture and stir. Do not chill. Dough should be stiff.

Bake at 350°F for about 6-7 minutes or until lightly browned.
