Alphabet Cookies

Today, with the invaluable help of a parent volunteer, we made alphabet cookies! Each child randomly picked a letter, made the letter using cookie dough and then after it was cooked, ate it. Everyone seemed to enjoy eating the alphabet!

We used a very simple (but delicious) sugar cookie recipe that our volunteer Dale helped us make. This was a fun activity that you might like to try at home.

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

1. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
3. refrigerate for at least an hour.
4. Form letters and place on cookie sheet.
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven (Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C), or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
