Description

These Easy Sugar Cookies are soft, chewy, and irresistibly delicious. With no chilling required, the dough comes together quickly, resulting in perfectly spread cookies with golden edges and soft centers every time. They stay chewy for days and are perfect on their own or with sprinkles and frosting.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Roll dough into balls about 1 ½ tablespoons each and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are soft. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For a fun twist, roll the dough balls in sprinkles before baking.
Decorate with royal icing, vanilla buttercream, or cream cheese frosting for a special touch.
Try rolling the dough balls in flavored sugar, like cinnamon sugar, for added flavor.
