In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. I love sugar cookies that are crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside.

Sugar cookies are a buttery classic that make a delicious anytime treat. Enjoy your sugar cookies plain, or decorate them with icing to make them festive. This recipe is a favorite of Martha's, who likes to add one tablespoon cognac alongside the egg and vanilla, after creaming together the butter and sugar. Her daughter, Esther Davis, shared the recipe with me and she came up with all the exact measurements, since the original cookies were mixed by feel and taste.

These cut-out sugar cookies will hold their shape and can easily be customized with colorful sprinkles or royal icing. Have a cookie decorating party or gather the kids in the kitchen to bake and decorate Christmas cookies. These cookies tasted great but my dough was so crumbly that i couldn't even roll them out to cookie cut them,,,, i ended up taking bits and pieces and smashing them into the cutter to keep a good design,,,, but to be fair i have never found a non crumbly non chill sugar cookie recipe,,,, makes me hate making them even tho i love to eat them.
