How to Make Mama Jan's Super Yummy Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ 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 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract (or your favorite extract).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use baking stones.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
