How to Make Saltless Sugar Cookies That Rock

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. If your butter is too hard, soften it by microwaving for short intervals or letting it sit at room temperature. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Add desired amount of food coloring (gel or liquid) and mix thoroughly. For easy mixing, add the food coloring to the softened butter in step 3 and mix well before incorporating the dry ingredients.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased nonstick baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with additional food coloring or sprinkles, if desired.
