Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of these scrumptious sugar cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: sprinkles or colored sugar for decoration
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious sugar cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If desired, fold in any additional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- If you want to add sprinkles, gently press them into the tops of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look slightly underbaked, but 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.
