No Chill Sugar Cookies

Ingredients: 

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

3 cups flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Cream the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes with the paddle attachment of your mixer. 

Add the extract and the egg and mix together. 

In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture slowly to the mixer. Beat until the dough starts to pull away from the edges of the bowl. 

Divide dough in half so you aren't rolling out the whole thing. Put one of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface and roll out. Roll this pretty thick--about 1/4" think. Cut into the shapes you want and place on the parchment paper. Bake for about 6 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 4-5 minutes before transferring off of the pan. 

Frost with your favorite frosting and decorate. 

These freeze really well.
