Sugar Cookie Cups

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
