Quick and easy sugar cookies that taste like grandma's homemade holiday cookies but are as simple as slice and bake. This recipe evolved because friends were craving dessert but I only had pantry ingredients and NO baking powder. I used more baking soda as a substitution and they worked like a charm. Two dozen cookies, gone in a flash. Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups flour (all purpose is fine) |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 cup butter (softened in microwave) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 egg (large) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
sugar (for rolling the dough balls in before baking) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda.
2. In a larger bowl, cream sugar and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine. Hand roll into balls (teaspoon size) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
3. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes away from the heat before devouring.
