Sugar cookie recipe

I love baking cookies! Especially if I have an easy and quick to make sugar cookie recipe to stick to. However my favorite aspect is the decorating. That is just what transforms a basic everyday cookie into a delicious work of art. Let your creativity come out!... So the first thing we need to do is to make the cookies. There will be no creaming butter or sugar required. The dough is blended within a food processor. 
Simple as that..

Ingredients:

• Sift together
                                                                 
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp. soda
• 11/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 4 eggs unbeaten

Instructions:

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Add the flour gradually and knead into a soft dough. Roll thin, cut into small round shapes and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° F. for eight to ten minutes.

Cream the butter in a mixing bowl until light. Add the oil, eggs, and maple syrup, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl sift the flours, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing well. If the dough seems too stiff, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to soften the dough.
Stir in the rolled oats. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just light golden.
