So Jenn's fantastic Sam/Cam/Jack Christmas cookie apocafic made me desire sugar cookies. And, as opposed to going to the store to buy some, I actually made them myself.

Picture evidence below the cut.

And, because I love you all so much, the recipe, found on allrecipes.com, here.

EASY SUGAR COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

Makes about 3-4 dozen, depending on if you actually only make teaspoon-sized cookies. ;-)

Now I feel like a real woman. ;-P
