How to Make Agnes Sugar Cookies Thin Crispy

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll out. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough very thinly (about ⅛ inch thick).
  6. Use lightly floured cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Carefully transfer the cookies to lightly greased baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven and cookie thickness. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing.
