Sweet and Simple

I recently went to Bake with Yen and saw this latest cookie cutter or more like a pastry cutter it says. Anyways, I bought it since it looks cute and the bite size cookie is nicer to eat comparing with a  4" size cookie. I didn't ice it since my cousins are all health conscious ( I know they are not but I try to play along anyway).

By the way, this cookie is slightly different since I added white chocolate in it and turns our wonderful. You can get more sugar cookie recipes from karenscookie.net and give it a try yeah.

For the cookie recipe.....here you go... 

Thank you to Karenscookie.net

White Chocolate Sugar Cookies

• 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 6 oz. white chocolate

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate and set aside. In small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt (so they're well combined) and set aside.

In large mixer bowl beat butter and sugar until creamy. Blend in egg and vanilla extract. Beat in melted white chocolate. Gradually beat in flour mixture until soft dough forms. Shape dough in ball; flatten to 3/4" thickness. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 15 minutes* until firm.

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to desired thickness. Bake until edges are golden. Let stand 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.

*Note: You MUST be able to roll and cut the dough after the 15 minute refrigeration time, or it will set up too much and won't roll out well. This dough is a dream to work with. You'll love it.
