Roll Out Cookie Dough Recipe

This is Wilton's Roll out cookie recipe, it is a good one. But my favorite is Cookie Crazie's recipe

Roll Out Cookie Recipe

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400. In mixing bowl, cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. At this point you can knead in icing colors for colored dough. Do not chill. Divide dough into 2 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 of an inch thick. Dip cookie cutter into flour before each use. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet for 6-7 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
