I am a big fan of sugar cookies, but sometimes they are just TOO SWEET. This Not Too Sweet sugar cookies recipe makes cookies that are delicious and not overly sweet.  If you plan on making a frosted sugar cookie, these are a great base because they complement a super sweet frosting nicely. They are also perfect with coffee or a nice cold glass of milk.

Not Too Sweet Sugar Cookies Recipe

 
Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
3 3/4 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
additional 1/4 cup sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time.  Add in extracts, milk and oil.  In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.  Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined.

Put the additional sugar in a shallow dish.  Roll dough into 1″ balls.  Then roll each ball on the sugar plate to coat.  Place 2″ apart on baking sheets.  Use a wide, flat bottomed glass to press down on each ball to shape into a cookie form.

Bake approximately 10 minutes or until the bottoms are just starting to turn golden brown.
