To celebrate the next Crescent Moon we will be making a big batch of these sugar cookies.
We just purchased the Crescent Moon cookie cutter, so we are ready to bake.
Here's an quick and easy recipe.
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
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut with floured 3-inch crescent moon-shaped or round cookie cutter.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts 1 inch apart.
Re-roll dough and cut additional cookies.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.
Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool.
