Easy Sugar Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Soften the butter in the microwave for 10-12 seconds. Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix into the butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the dough and beat on medium-low speed until well combined and dough forms.

Step 5

Use a large cookie scoop and portion the dough. Roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar and then place each one about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Bake at 350° F 10-12 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
