Sugar Dipped Butter Cookies


2 cups sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Water

Heat oven to 375F. Combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ cup butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed.

Not owning a mixer made this part a little rough. Eventually I gave up on the mixing spoon and kneaded it with my hands. 


Place remaining 1 cup sugar in small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip top of each ball in water, then in sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. 

The little garnish on the top is a fun variation from the generic sugar cookie!

Bake for 8 to 14 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. 

Using Sugar in the Raw made the final product quite pretty, in my humble opinion.

My Rating: 3/5 "They're sugar cookies - they're pretty sugar cookies, but in the end they're just sugar cookies. That said, when you have a crowd to feed it's all about quantity for cheap, and this is a good recipe to achieve that!"
