Yummy Sweets for Your Valentine!

These homemade sugar cookies are a recipe from my mom - they are absolutely amazing! This Valentine's holiday I made one batch for home, one batch for Hudson's school party, and one back for Will to take to work for his factory friends - they received raving reviews!



What you will need:
2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick of butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp. orange juice

What to do:
Blend the stick of softened butter and sugar. Add flour, baking powder, salt, egg, vanilla, and orange juice and mix with your hands. Mold into a flat round ball and refrigerate for one hour. Use flour to roll out on the counter, cut cookies into desired shapes. Decorate and lay on baking sheet (I lay them on aluminum foil or parchment paper). Cook approximately 8-10 minutes in oven at 350 degrees.

Enjoy!
