Easter Cookies

Here are my basic sugar cookies with Easter shapes and sprinkles!

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

egg wash= 1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp water

sprinkles

Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Then add flour and baking powder and mix until well incorporated. Put dough on a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap, roll into a disc and wrap up with wax paper. Refrigerate 2 hours or until ready to make cookies.

Preheat oven to 375. On a floured surface, roll out some or all of the dough using a rolling pin and use cookie cutters to shape cookies. Place cookies on cookie sheet, brush with egg wash, and decorate with sprinkles. Bake 375 for 7-8 minutes.

Cool on cooling rack and enjoy!
