easy sugar cookies

The perfect soft and chewy sugar cookies: just the right amount of softness with a tiny bit chewiness and a buttery vanilla taste.

Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies

all-purpose flour

tsp baking soda

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

unsalted butter (softened)

sugar

tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set bowl aside.

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Drop mixer speed to low and add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed butter, mixing thoroughly.

Remove bowl from mixer. Using a&nbsp;spatula, slowly add the dry ingredients in with the butter mixture until fully incorporated. Dough should be soft and slightly dewy when ready.

Cover bowl and place dough in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large&nbsp;baking sheet&nbsp;with&nbsp;parchment paper. Add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar to a small mixing bowl and set nearby.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into a ball (about 1 inch&nbsp;wide) then toss the cookie ball in the bowl of sugar, covering the outside. Place finished cookie ball on prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all dough is used, placing cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the top of the cookie begins to crinkle and the bottom sides turn a light golden brown.

Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in a sealed container on the counter for up to 4 days.

Soft baked cream cheese sugar cookies. This is the best cut-out sugar cookie recipe you will ever try! Soft, easy to make, and fun to decorate.

salt

milk

corn syrup

Soft Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies with Perfect Frosting

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then add the egg and beat until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the cream cheese and beat for 1 minute, scrape down the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest until incorporated, about 30 seconds.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing just until fully incorporated and a soft dough is formed.

Divide the dough into quarters. If using the dough within 24 hours, roll each quarter to a 1/4-inch thickness in between two sheets of parchment paper (alternatively, you can store the dough in a ball or disk and roll out when ready to cut and bake). Be careful not to roll the dough any thinner or the cookies will not be as soft. Keeping the dough flat, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight. Repeat with the remaining dough (it is fine to stack the dough "flats" on top of each other to save space). If you will not be using the dough within 24 hours, divide the dough in half, pat each into a disk, then wrap each disk tightly in plastic and freeze in a ziptop bag for up to 1 month. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then proceed with the recipe as directed.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Remove one of dough flats from the refrigerator. (If you stored the dough in a ball or disk, roll it to a 1/4-inch thickness now, between two layers of parchment paper.) Remove the top layer of parchment paper, then with cookie cutters, slice the cookies into desired shapes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, until barely lightly golden brown and the edges are dry. The cookies will look slightly underbaked. Let cool completely.

To make the frosting: In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons milk as best as you can (the frosting will be very solid at this point). Beat in the corn syrup and almond extract until the frosting is smooth and glossy. If the frosting seems too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If making colored frosting, add a few drops of food coloring until you reach your desired color intensity. Frost and decorate the cookies as desired. Let the frosting set for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Easy sugar cookies stay soft, don’t crumble, and don’t spread in the oven. Recipe makes great holiday cookies!

EASY SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE

Soft and chewy cut-out Paleo sugar cookies that no one will know are completely gluten free, dairy free, and vegan! Made with cassava flour and almond flour, these easy sugar cookies are so much fun for the holidays!

Super Paleo Sugar Cookies (Vegan)

almond flour

vegan butter or coconut oil, softened

tbsp ground flaxseed with 4 tbsp water

maple sugar or coconut sugar

tsp almond extract

tbsp almond or coconut milk

coconut butter, melted

maple syrup

Use a hand mixer to whip the vegan butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth.

Add in the vegan flaxseed egg and vanilla extract (also optional almond extract), and sift in the flours.

Continue to beat all of the ingredients until it&#8217;s a sticky dough.

Form the dough into a flat disk, and place it into plastic wrap, wrap it up and place the dough into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

When the dough is ready, lightly dust a clean surface with either cassava or almond flour, as well as the rolling pin, and a little flour on top of the dough disk.

Roll the dough out to be about 1/4&#8243; thick.

Use your favorite cookie cutters and press them into the dough. Peel away the dough scraps and repeat for any remaining dough.

Place the cookies into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes, and preheat the oven to 350F as the cookies are chilling.

Bake the cookies at 350F for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly puffy and golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet. Place the cookies into the fridge to speed up cooling time so that you can ice them.

When the cookies are ready to ice, you can either melt together the coconut butter and maple syrup for a Paleo icing or mix together the powdered sugar and almond milk. Place the icing into an icing bag or spread directly onto the cookies.

Icing

I think Santa would be VERY happy coming down the chimney to a plate of these beauts :) That is if I don't eat them all first. Sorry, Santa 😂

The only sugar cookie recipe you&#039;ll ever need! These easy bakery-style treats are soft, thick and perfect for decorating.

Soft Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

salted butter, softened

eggs,

almond extract ((or reduce to ¼ teaspoon

sugar,

Gel food coloring, optional

Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing to combine. Add vanilla extract and almond extract; mix until incorporated.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix on low until a soft dough forms.

Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Place each portion on a piece of lightly-floured parchment paper or a lightly-floured silicone mat. With a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll the dough to about ¼ -inch thickness. Use more flour if the dough seems sticky.

Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Carefully remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes. Arrange the shapes about 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

You can re-roll the dough scraps to cut out additional cookies, but you will need to chill the cut-out dough on the baking sheets in the fridge or freezer for at least 10 minutes before baking. This will give the dough a chance to firm up again so that the cookies don’t spread in the oven.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or just until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.

Combine confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If icing is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the icing is thick but spreadable. If it’s too thin, gradually add more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency. Use gel food coloring to tint the frosting, if desired. Pipe or spread onto the cooled cookies and then allow the icing to firm up and set before packaging (this may take a couple of hours).

To Prepare Icing (Optional):
