Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies
These cookies are soft, chewy, and oh-so-delicious. They have that perfect balance of sweetness and texture that makes them a favorite for cookie lovers everywhere.
Ingredients:
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extracts (and almond extract if you're feeling fancy). Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar before placing it on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
