Baking with my boy

To lift my spirits a bit today, and enjoy the time with my son, I took a break from resumes, applications, and job-hunting for an hour to bake some cookies. I had everything in the house to make these sugar cookies so I did.



Simple Sugar Cookies

2 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.

Roll rounded teaspoonsfull of dough into balls and place on cookie sheets. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Cool on paper towels.
