11 Indiana Hoosier State Christmas Cookie Recipes From Cornfield Kitchens

Classic Hoosier Sugar Cookies

Classic Hoosier Sugar Cookies are a beloved staple during the holiday season in Indiana. These soft, sweet cookies are perfect for decorating with colorful icing or sprinkles, making them a festive treat for family and friends. Their delicate flavor and chewy texture make them irresistible, and baking them fills the air with the wonderful aroma of freshly made cookies.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This guarantees that your leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Extracts: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) and blend until combined.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, blending on low speed until just combined. Make certain not to overmix; stop when no flour is visible.
6. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
7. Flatten Cookies: Gently flatten each ball of dough with the bottom of a glass or your palm to about ½ inch thick. For an optional touch, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before baking.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
9. Cooling: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate (Optional): Once cooled, you can decorate these classic Hoosier sugar cookies with icing, sprinkles, or enjoy them plain.

Enjoy your delightful Classic Hoosier Sugar Cookies during the holiday season, and share them with loved ones!
