What is an easy recipe for sugar cookies that I can try out?

To make sugar cookies, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. Roll out the dough, cut into shapes, and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
