Ingredients for A Perfect Sugar Cookie
How to Make A Perfect Sugar Cookie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, then add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use cookie cutters or a cookie press to create your desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, decorate as desired with frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
