These easy sugar cookies are quick to make with simple, classic ingredients. They bake to a perfect golden edge and can be enjoyed plain or topped with candies or frosting for extra sweetness. This recipe yields soft, buttery cookies that are delightful for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate into the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually blend the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until the dough comes together uniformly.
  6. Form Cookies: Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider topping these cookies with your favorite sugar cookie frosting or chocolate mints as a festive garnish.
  • Spacing the dough balls 2 inches apart ensures even baking and prevents cookies from spreading into each other.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • You can add mix-ins like colored sugars or sprinkles to customize your cookies.
