Mickey Sugar Cookie

I bought Mickey cookie cutter from our honeymoon in Disney World. So, today I decided to make use of those cute cookie cutters.
I wished it turned out perfect, but it was hard to use the mickey mouse face cookie stamp. But this is my first try :D

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Direction:

  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one hour (or overnight) or until firm enough to roll.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  • Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (.6 cm). (Keep turning the dough as you roll, making sure the dough does not stick to the counter.)
  • Cut out shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheets with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to chill the dough which prevents the cookies from spreading and losing their shape while baking.
  • Bake cookies for about 8-10 minutes (depending on size) or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling
