With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these cookies that are bound to please kids and adults alike.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to guarantee it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the cookie dough.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and set the bowl aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Chill the Dough (optional): For easier handling, you can chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step is optional but helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
7. Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Flatten the Cookies: Using the bottom of a glass or your fingers, gently flatten each cookie ball to about 1/4 inch thickness.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Decorate: Once completely cool, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or decorate them with icing as desired. Enjoy your classic vanilla sugar cookies!
