Winning Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine flour and baking powder; add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on greased baking sheets. Dip a smooth-bottomed glass into remaining 1/4 cup sugar and flatten balls to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle remaining sugar over cookies.
Bake at 350 for 12 to 14 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool.
