25 GENIUS COOKING HACKS YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW JUST BEFORE DINNER ─ 5-Minute Crafts

GENIUS COOKING HACKS

I wanted to make something special and I thought butt cookies seemed alright! Not entirely sure where the idea came from, probably one of my vivid dreams, but when I thought of making butt cookies it had to be done! Actually, truth be told I wanted to make butt cupcakes and call them buttcakes, but I couldn't find an easy enough recipe. I have never baked a thing in my entire life, from scratch. So I needed a beginner recipe. Here's the final result!

This is the BEST sugar cookie recipe - no chilling the dough, cookies keep their shape when baked, soft and flavorful, perfect for decorating!

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup unsalted butter
1 Cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In the bowl of your mixer cream butter and sugar until smooth, at least 3 minutes.
Beat in extracts and egg.
In a separate bowl combine baking powder and salt with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. If it becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface. Wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand.

DO NOT CHILL THE DOUGH! Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut. You want these cookies to be on the thicker side (closer to 1/4 inch rather than 1/8).
Bake at 350° F for 6-8 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

These were a blast to make, decorate, and pass around. I would totally recommend doing something like this for a birthday or bachelorette party!
