I'm new to cooking, but i need an easy sugar cookie recipe from ...

Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through... Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. * Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color.
