HEALTHIER EASY SUGAR COOKIES
I love this recipe. I could eat at least ten in one sitting which is why I exchanged some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400*F''
- Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is.
- Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
- Add eggs and mix again.
- Add salt, and baking powder. Blend.
- Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend.
- Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time).
- Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
- Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough).
- When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness.
- Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you'll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure.
- Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES
Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use pure vanilla extract, not imitation.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough evenly: To ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape, roll the dough out to a uniform thickness.
- Use a sharp cookie cutter: A sharp cookie cutter will help you get clean, precise cuts. If your cookie cutter is dull, it will drag and tear the dough, resulting in ragged cookies.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature that is high enough to set the dough but not so high that they burn. The ideal temperature for baking sugar cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Cool the cookies completely: Before storing or serving the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them to set and firm up.
