This XXL Buttery Soft Sugar Cookie recipe yields one giant, delightfully soft and tender sugar cookie with a buttery flavor and colorful sprinkles. Perfect for when you want to indulge in a big, homemade cookie without having to bake a whole batch. The cookie has a slightly crisp edge with a soft, almost underbaked center that firms up as it cools, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3 Tablespoons (38g) granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons (30ml) beaten egg (crack the egg, beat it, and use 2 tbsp)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 Tablespoons (49g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons (about 20g) sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare your cookie sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray or lining it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and well combined, which helps create a tender texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the beaten egg and pure vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate moisture and flavor into the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sprinkles until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain cookie softness.
  5. Shape Dough: Place the dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a tall ball to form one giant cookie.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. The center may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as the cookie cools.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie to cool completely on the baking sheet. This cooling period helps the center set while maintaining softness. Enjoy your giant buttery soft sugar cookie!

Notes

  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easier cleanup and to avoid sticking.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • The center of the cookie will look underbaked when you take it out of the oven; this is intentional for a soft texture.
  • Let the cookie cool completely on the baking sheet to allow it to firm up perfectly.
  • For best results, follow the mixing method precisely and avoid overmixing the dough.
  • Special Tools: Baking Sheet, Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper, Glass Mixing Bowl, Silicone Spatula.
