Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour (480g)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (200g)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want tender cookies.
5. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling the dough enhances the flavor and makes it easier to handle.
6. Roll and Cut: Preheat your oven again to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
7. Bake to Perfection: Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye to avoid overbaking.
8. Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, unleash your creativity and decorate with icing, sprinkles, or enjoy them as they are.
9. Share and Enjoy: These classic sugar cookies are ready to be shared and enjoyed. Perfect for holidays, special occasions, or whenever you crave a bit of sweetness.
