Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Chewy Sugar Cookies.
Step 1
To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a medium bowl and mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and margarine until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.
Step 3
Next, add the first egg to the mixture and beat it in until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Follow this with the second egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the dry ingredients! Gradually add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until the dough comes together.
Step 6
Be careful not to overmix; we want those cookies to be tender and soft.
Step 7
Once your dough is ready, wrap it in plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 8
This step is crucial as it helps the dough firm up, making it easier to shape.
Step 9
While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake.
Step 10
After the dough has chilled, take it out and roll it into walnut-sized balls.
Step 11
For a sweet touch, roll each ball in the 1/4 cup of sugar to coat them.
Step 12
Place the sugar-coated balls on ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 13
Gently flatten each ball with your hand to give them a nice shape.
Step 14
Now, it’s time for the magic! Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and your kitchen is filled with a heavenly aroma.
Step 15
Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful process and the delicious results of your baking!.
