This is it! This is the best sugar cookie recipe I've tried in many years of baking. It's quick and easy to make, and works well for simple roll and slice cookies or beautifully decorated Christmas cookies. I love that this sugar cookie recipe doesn't require chilling the dough, so you can mix and bake within minutes. It doesn't puff up during baking, so it makes great cut out sugar cookies or edible cookie cups.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate for dipping, optional

  • Decorating sugar, frosting

  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

  • 1/2 tsp. Baking soda

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour

  • 3/4 tsp. Vanilla extract

  • 1 Egg

  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup Butter, room temperature

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 02
    In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Blend in egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, blend dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt). Add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix will appear crumbly.
  • 03
    Use a rolling pin to roll out dough to around 1/4″ (6mm) thick. (Go thicker for a softer, chewy cookie, or thinner for a crispy cookie.)
  • 04
    Cut out sugar cookies and remove excess dough from around shapes. Alternatively, shape dough into a cylinder, and slice off 1/4” (6mm) thick rounds.
  • 05
    Sprinkle with decorating sugar, sprinkles or vanilla sugar, if desired.
  • 06
    Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cookies firm around the edges. (Bake until lightly browned for crispier cookies.) Allow to cool for a few minutes on the pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 07
    If you skipped the decorating sugar, you can frost the cookies or dip them in chocolate for decoration.
  • 08
    Serve and enjoy!
