Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; set aside. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Let 1 disk of dough stand at room temperature just until soft enough to roll, about 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to just under 1/4 inch thick, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Cut out cookies with a 4-inch cat-shape cookie cutter, transferring cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets as you work. Roll out the scraps, and repeat. Repeat with remaining disk of dough. Chill cookies in freezer until very firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake cookies, switching positions of sheets and rotating halfway through, until edges turn golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

These cookies were a lot of work to make, and they didn't taste that great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as cute as the ones in the picture.

The dough was a little too dry and crumbly for my liking, but the cookies still tasted good.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were really good. I think it's the frosting that makes them.

I was worried that the sugar cookie would taste bland, but it was actually really flavorful. The frosting was the perfect finishing touch.

The dough was a little sticky, but it was easy to work with. I used a cookie scoop to make sure they were all the same size.
