Sugar cookie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sugar cookie is a cookie made from sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and either baking powder or baking soda.[1][2] Sugar cookies may be formed by hand or rolled and cut into shapes. They are commonly decorated with frosting, sprinkles, or a combination of both. In North America, sugar cookies are popular during the holidays of Christmas and Halloween.[citation needed]
[edit] History
In the mid-1700s, German Protestant settlers in the Nazareth area of Pennsylvania created a sugar cookie recipe called the Nazareth Sugar Cookie.
Sugar cookies probably derived from an earlier, unleavened cookie called a jumble.
