So this is a recipe from Gannon’s wife, Jen. These are the cookies he brought on the morning show Tuesday. The newsroom loved them and they went fast! Again, please send me some Halloween recipes while there is still time, I would love to share them… and try them myself :)
Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
3/4 c. butter, softened 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. white sugar 1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out half the dough on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely. Frost or ice, if desired.
Makes 3-4 dozens, depending on size of cookie cutters.
