Sugar cookies with botanical dusting sugar

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp cream of tarter

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 1 cup sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2-3 tablespoons botanical dusting sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment.

Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.

Add the butter and 1 cup of sugar to a large mixer bowl and cream until light in color and fluffy in texture, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Add botanical dusting sugar to a shallow bowl.

Create balls of one tablespoon of cookie dough each.

Roll each ball of cookie dough in the botanical dusting sugar, then set them on the prepared cookie sheet with about 2 inches between them.

Bake for 6-8 minutes.

Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.

Store in an airtight container.
