How to Make Best Ever Fluffy Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
