Classic Sugar Cookies
Classic sugar cookies are a timeless holiday treat that brings joy to any gathering. These soft and buttery cookies are perfect for decorating and sharing with family and friends during the festive season. With a delightful vanilla flavor and a light, crisp texture, classic sugar cookies can be dressed up with colorful icing or enjoyed plain.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 ¾ cups |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp |
| Salt | ½ tsp |
| Unsalted butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Granulated sugar | 1 ½ cups |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Vanilla extract | 2 tsp |
| Almond extract | ½ tsp (optional) |
| Powdered sugar | for dusting/icing (optional) |
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this bowl aside, as these dry ingredients will be added to the wet ingredients later.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Chill the Dough: Once the dough comes together, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to firm up the dough, making it easier to roll out and cut.
- Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Cut Out Cookies: Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Gather any scraps, re-roll them, and cut out additional cookies until all the dough is used.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cut-out cookies on ungreased baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Decorate (Optional): Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with powdered sugar or decorate with icing as desired. Let the icing set before serving.
Your classic sugar cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! Share them with loved ones or save them for holiday celebrations. Happy baking!
