Baker's Sugar Cookies

Okay, so, I downloaded this picture because my cookies did not look this good! However...when you taste them, it is a whole different story.

My big warning with these cookies is: DO NOT ROLL THEM OUT! Just roll them into balls and let them cook. This is not a recipe for shaped sugar cookies-trust me, I tried!

Cody got this recipe for a woman who owned a Bakery in Ohio...so that should give you a little hint! They are great...and this is a massive batch, so careful!

Cream together for 3-4 minutes:

2 cups butter

2 1/2 cups sugar

Add:

1 Tbs. Vanilla

3 eggs

4 Tbs. milk

4 1/2 Tbs. baking powder

4 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 325.

Add ingredients in order-keep mixer going on low until you have added all of the flour. Increase speed; mix on medium for 1-2 mintues.

Either scoop or spoon out cookies. Slightly flatten with a cup or other flat surface dipped in sugar.

*If using a convection oven, reduce temperature to 300.

*Baking lower and slower allows the cookies to brown less and be softer.

Chef's Tips:

Do not refrigerate the dough! I did that once-they are much better fresh. Honestly, these cookies take some perfecting, but they are WORTH IT!!!
