We love these thick and chewy sugar cookies.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
3 cups flour

Directions:
Cream together the first five ingredients. Add four and baking powder. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Roll out dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick depending on how soft and chewy you like your cookies. Cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes. Take out before cookies are brown. Yield 21 cookies.
