    Hi

    I suggest you prepare this recipe:

    Healthier Easy Sugar Cookies

    2 3/4 cupsall-purpose flour

    1teaspoon baking soda

    1/2teaspoon baking powder

    1/2 cup butter softened

    1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt

    1 1/2 cups white sugar

    1egg

    1 teaspoonvanilla extract

    1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl.

    2.Beat butter, yogurt, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg allowing it to blend into butter mixture. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

    3.Bake in preheated oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand on baking sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

    I've already tried these cookies. I would recommend them because they are delicious and light at the same time! *-*

    Snickerdoodles! Lovely sugar cookies, which are coated in sugar and cinnamon - Yummy :)

    Snickerdoodles (From Joy of Baking, If you don't like snickerdoodles, her other cookie recipes are great!)

    Ingredients

    Snickerdoodles:

    2 3/4 cups (360 grams) all purpose flour

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

    1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated white sugar

    2 large eggs

    1 teaspoon pure vanilla

    Coating:

    1/3 cup (66 grams) granulated white sugar

    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    Snickerdoodles: In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

    In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until smooth (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough. If the dough is soft, cover and refrigerate until firm (about one to two hours).

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Shape the dough into 1 inch (2.5 cm) round balls.

    Coating: In a large shallow bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.

    Roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar and place on the prepared pan, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Then, using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick.

    Bake the cookies for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until they are light golden brown and firm around the edges. The centers of the cookies will still be a little soft. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

    Can store in an airtight container, at room temperature, for about 10 - 14 days.

    Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.

    Ingredients

    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

    1/2 cup granulated sugar

    1 cup packed light-brown sugar

    1 teaspoon salt

    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

    2 large eggs

    2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

    Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

    Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week
