From Good Housekeeping triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute This simple dough, which is the starting point for all our holiday cookie recipes, calls for butter (no substitutions) because butter not only gives the best flavor in baked goods, but also makes the dough much more manageable to work with.
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt shopping list
- 1 cup(s) (2 sticks) butter (no substitutions), softened shopping list
- 3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 large egg shopping list
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract shopping list

- In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar 1 minute or until creamy, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula.
- Add egg and vanilla; beat until well mixed.
