Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies
Let’s get started with this delicious recipe. You'll be greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies in no time!
Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft. They may look a bit underbaked, but they will continue to cook while cooling.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Share them with loved ones, or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here! Happy baking!
