Sugar Cookie Recipe

Hey Everyone!

Since there was a demand for Katherine Wright's Drop Sugar Cookie Recipe, here it is! :)

Ingredients:
     3 3/4 c Flour
     1 1/2 c Sugar
     1 c Butter (2 sticks)
     1 c Buttermilk or Sour Cream
     2 t Baking Powder
     1 t Baking Soda
     1 t Vanilla Extract
     2 Eggs

Directions:
     Cream sugar and butter.  Add eggs, beat well.  Beat in milk or sour cream.* Slowly add dry ingredients (flour and baking powder and soda). Mix in vanilla.  Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet (Using sour cream, it was rather sticky cookie dough - not sure if it'd be easier to work with if made with buttermilk.)  Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.  Enjoy! :)

*I used sour cream because it comes in an 8 oz which is equivalent to 1 c.  Plus, for me, the chances of using sour cream in other things is more likely than buttermilk!  Although, I bet the buttermilk gives it a more richer flavor.


Also, after hearing all of the rave reviews on these cookies, I decided to re-amp this recipe into a cookie that we may enjoy today!  Being a baker, where I sell gourmet cupcakes on the side in the hopes to eventually launch my own bakery from home, I am going to offer the "Wright Cookie" as one of my desserts!  The Wright Cookie will use this old-fashion sugar cookie recipe, but I will top it with my homemade maple buttercream and baked bacon bits since we know they preferred their foods baked rather than fried! ;)

Lastly, here are a few my most demanded cupcake flavors:
