Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies
Feast your eyes on this mouthwatering creation! Just look at these beauties:
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- ¾ cup powdered 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 salt. Set that aside for now.
- In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it's fluffy and light in color—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if you’re feeling fancy) to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—don’t overdo it now!
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Then roll those little balls in powdered sugar until they're fully coated.
- Place the sugar-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Don’t let them crowd!
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they’re starting to lightly brown around the edges. They should look like soft little pillows, just begging to be devoured.
- Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
There you have it! Soft and chewy sugar cookies that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Perfect for parties, holidays, or just because you deserve a sweet treat. Enjoy, fam!
