This simple Copycat Potbelly Sugar Cookie Recipe can be whipped up in very little time. Giving you delicious homemade cookies making for the perfect sweet treat.
Before preparing your cookie dough, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or you can grease the cookie sheet instead.
In a microwave safe bowl, slightly melt the butter. I microwave the butter in intervals of twenty seconds at a time.
Mix the egg and vanilla together well.
Combine butter with the egg and vanilla mixture and the dry ingredients: sugar, baking powder and all-purpose flour. I use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients well. The consistency is soft and may be crumbly looking.
Roll the mixture into eight medium size balls and place onto the parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for about thirteen minutes.
Remove from oven and let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about five minutes before placing them onto a cooling rack.
