Classic Sugar Cookies
Classic sugar cookies are a beloved holiday treat that combines simplicity with deliciousness. Their soft, slightly crisp texture and sweet flavor make them perfect for decorating with icing or enjoying plain. These cookies are a staple during Christmas time, often made and shared among family and friends. Here’s how you can create your own batch of classic sugar cookies following grandma’s timeless recipe.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 ¾ cups |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Unsalted butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Granulated sugar | 1 ½ cups |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Almond extract (optional) | ½ teaspoon |
| Sprinkles or colored sugar (for decoration) | as needed |
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees the cookies bake evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Extracts: Next, add in the large egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing at low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a soft dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each for spreading.
- Flatten (if desired): If you prefer a flatter cookie, gently use the bottom of a glass to press down each dough ball slightly. Optionally, you can sprinkle sugar or colored sprinkles on top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook on the sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate (optional): Once the cookies are completely cool, feel free to decorate with icing or additional sprinkles as desired.
Enjoy your classic sugar cookies as part of your holiday celebrations or anytime you need a sweet treat!

Gingerbread Men
Gingerbread men are a classic Christmas cookie that adds a festive touch to any holiday celebration. Their warm spices and sweet molasses flavor make them a delightful treat, perfect for decorating with icing or simply enjoyed as they are. This whimsical cookie has become a cherished tradition for many families, creating fond memories through baking and decorating together.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 3 ¼ cups |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground ginger | 1 tablespoon |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 tablespoon |
| Ground nutmeg | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Unsalted butter | ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) |
| Brown sugar | ¾ cup, packed |
| Unsulfured molasses | ½ cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Royal icing (for decorating) | as needed |
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), making sure the baking environment is ready for ideal cookie baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. This guarantees an even distribution of the spices throughout the dough.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Molasses and Egg: Mix in the unsulfured molasses and the large egg into the butter-sugar mixture. Blend well until fully incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps the dough firm up, making it easier to roll out.
- Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, flour your work surface and roll the dough out to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a rolling pin for an even thickness.
- Cut Out Shapes: Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Place the cut-out cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate: Once the cookies are cooled, use royal icing to decorate them as desired, creating festive designs to bring your gingerbread men to life. Let the icing dry before serving or storing.
With these steps, you’ll have a batch of delightful gingerbread men ready to be enjoyed and shared with family and friends this holiday season!
