Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies
These cookies are not only soft and chewy, but they also have a rich flavor that makes them truly irresistible. With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch that will have everyone reaching for more!
Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop dough into balls and roll them in the extra granulated sugar for a sweet finish.
- Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
