Fourth of July Sugar Cookies

We had a great fourth of July, lots of sugar cookie orders. These cookies are great for shapes, as well as scooping. They are deliciously buttery, and very simple to make. Great a little under baked, or make them crunchy and decorate with icing just using confectioners sugar and a little water. The ones we made were shaped into small stars and made an American flag with them. Everyone loved them.

In a mixer with a paddle put:

684g soft butter and

900g sugar. Mix till creamy.

Add 6 eggs one at a time till combined.

Followed by 3T vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients at the end:

1260g All purpose flour

7t baking powder

3t salt.

Scoop cookies with an ice cream scoop, or roll on a floured surface and cut out the dough with cookie cutters. They will spread a little. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes at 350F. Bake longer if you want them extra crispy.
