One Bowl Sugar Coated Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter – softened

  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg – at room temperature

  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • colored sugar

Directions

  • Place the colored sugar in small separate bowls.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop and roll into 2 tablespoon sized balls. Roll each dough ball in the colored sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges and tops are just set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on pan. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
