Easy Sugar Cookies

I went to make my regular sugar cookie recipe and didn't have all of the ingredients so I looked online for an easy one that didn't call for shortening. I found this one and they were so easy and really yummy! I might just throw my old, more complicated recipe out the window!

I didn't roll out dough and make a flour mess of my counter like most sugar cookies. I just rolled them into balls and flattened them a little. My little 4 year old is going to decorate them with store bought icing and princess sprinkles. Easy!

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. Stir all ingredients together, roll into balls and place onto greased cookie sheet. 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.
