Sugar Cookies

This afternoon I had promised my kids I'd make cookies. Unfortunately nobody could agree on what they'd like so I settled on a basic sugar cookie. We made up the original recipe and then divided the mixture into 3 bowls. The first stayed normal, 2nd batch sprinkles were added in and the final bowl had 1/2 cup peanut butter added to it. All three versions turned out fantastic. I think the plain mix could of used slightly more vanilla in it but my kids and husband liked em as they were just fine.

Sugar Cookies
================
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
*Optional Peanut Butter and Sprinkles

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. 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.

This Recipe Makes about 4 Dozen. You can use a tablespoon if you prefer a larger cookie. Recipe will yield roughly 2 1/2 dozens if a Tbsp is used.
