Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies
These sugar cookies are incredibly easy to make, and the results are just divine! They have a lovely balance of sweetness and a delightful chewy texture that makes them irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla extract, egg, and almond extract (if using) until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls about 1 inch in size. Roll them in the granulated sugar until coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family, or simply enjoying alone with a glass of milk. They are the kind of treat that brings warmth and joy to any day. Happy baking!
