This is somewhat overdue as sugar cookies are hallmarks of Christmas and the whole winter season in general. I have tried a million different sugar cookie recipe, one time I even spent around four hours on a single recipe when I was around 10 years old. The whole rolling and cutting and frosting mess included, and my mom accidentally over-baked them :O. But oh well, accidents happen, just don't over-bake these cookies! Only problem is they can be hard to tell because, well, they're supposed to turn out white. So make sure to have your oven mitts on around two minutes before the recipe calls to take them out, and make sure to check on them once in a while.Besides that, these cookies are wonderful, as long as they don't make you diabetic first :P. The recipe is for drop sugar cookies. If you are planning to make them into shapes, you have to chill the dough for around an hour but I would suggest a different recipe. So I'm done talking now, have fun baking!
Cookie Recipe
makes four dozen, preheat 375 degrees
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter, SOFTENED THAT'S IMPORTANT
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ( I added 2 for more flavor, tastes great)
Procedure
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Then add the egg and vanilla. Mix until its all incorporated.
4. Blend in the dry ingredients. Mix well.
5. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden, but I would recommend taking them out before, if you want super soft cookies.
7. Let stand on the cookie sheet for two minutes before eating.
Enjoy:) They taste awesome when still warm!
Warm cookies are the best!
