Sugar Cookies by KT

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

I found it was best to cook them until the edges started to turn brown,which was about 11 minutes.If you like them chewy,cook them less than that.This recipe is really tasty,but make sure you soften the butter for 15 secs.

I made these for a school project.We would each be given a book(by chance my best friend was in my group)and
as we read the book we would do a bunch of stuff like vocabulary words that they assumed we didn’t know. At the end,we would do these packets all about our books and then we would pick a project to do. I picked to cook a food in the book. Sugar cookies were the only food in my book, but they called them shrewsbury cakes.
