Butter Cookies
Modified from website
1 2/3 cups flour
½ cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 egg (I used extra-large, they used large)
1 tsp baking powder
Whisk butter and sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add beaten egg and mix to combine. Add flour and baking powder and mix on low speed until flour is incorporated. Roll dough into a ball and wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat to 350. Roll dough to quarter inch thickness. Cut into shape you want. I did circles, you can also use a dove for traditional Japanese cookies. Place on baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
