Spice up your next batch of sugar cookies with Rick's Rub Original and Rick's Rub Heat!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp Rick's Rub Original seasoning
3/4 tsp Rick's Rub Heat seasoning

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Cream together butter and sugar with a mixer until smooth
3. Beat in the vanilla and egg
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, Rick's Rub Original and Rick's Rub Heat seasonings
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients slowly and continue mixing until the dough is combined and crumbly
6. Knead the dough by hand until the dough comes together. Wet hands so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers. Separate dough into 2 or 3 balls to make it easier to work with. Cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap so that it doesn't get dry while you are rolling. Don't chill the dough.
7. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out until approximately 1/4" thick
8. Using your favourite cookie cutters, cut your desired shapes and use a thin metal spatula to transfer shapes to your parchment lined cookie sheets
9. Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 mins
