How to Make Ann's Soft Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon cream of tartar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for even softer cookies.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half to ⅛ inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets.
- Sprinkle cookies generously with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
