How to Make Aunt Catherine's Million Dollar Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or a fork dipped in sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
