Sugar Cookie Recipe:
This recipe is perfect for making delicious sugar cookies! The dough rolls out easily every time and the cookies turn out nice and sturdy. Ingredients:
- 2 cups salted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 6 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Directions:
1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together. Add dry ingredients, a little at a time, to the butter mixture. Mix well, at a low speed, until fully blended.
2. Cover and chill for 1 - 2 hours.
3. Roll your dough out to desired thickness. (1/4" thick is recommended)
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes, or until just beginning to brown around the edges.
Let your cookies cool completely on wire racks before decorating!
This sugar cookie recipe yields 5 dozen (3 inch round) cookies.
Tips:
- Room temperature eggs mix better in a recipe and produce fluffier cookies. Let your eggs sit out for 30 minutes to an hour prior to baking. (Don't leave them out for longer than two hours)
- Line your baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. This will keep your cookies from burning and make clean-up much easier!
- If you only have unsalted butter, you can add in a teaspoon of salt.
- Splurge for the good vanilla! (you're welcome)
- Add a touch of almond extract for some extra flavor.
- Thicker cookie = longer baking time
- You can freeze extra cookie dough ( stays fresh for up to 3 months).
