Classic Sugar Cookies

festive traditional sugar cookies

Classic sugar cookies are a festive and traditional treat that delights both young and old during the holiday season. Their soft, buttery texture and subtle sweetness create the perfect canvas for an array of decorations, from sprinkles to royal icing. Whether you’re baking for a holiday party, cookie exchange, or simply enjoying some quality time in the kitchen, these sugar cookies are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 2 ¾ cups
Baking powder 1 tsp
Baking soda ½ tsp
Salt ¼ tsp
Unsalted butter 1 cup (2 sticks)
Granulated sugar 1 ½ cups
Egg 1 large
Vanilla extract 1 tsp
Almond extract (optional) ½ tsp
Sprinkles (for decoration) As desired

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
  4. Add Egg and Extracts: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat these ingredients together until they are well combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the dough should come together without any dry flour.
  6. Chill the Dough: Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
  7. Shape Cookies: After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and scoop out tablespoon-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Add Sprinkles: If desired, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly, then sprinkle the tops with colored sprinkles.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is okay as they will continue to cook on the baking sheets once removed from the oven.
  10. Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  11. Serve: Enjoy your classic sugar cookies as is or decorate with icing for an extra festive touch!

With this simple recipe, you can easily bake a batch of delicious sugar cookies to share and enjoy throughout the holiday season.
