Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Easy Sugar Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for some delicious cookies.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined, then set this mixture aside for later.
Step 3
In a larger bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat the softened butter and white sugar together until the blend is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to beat the mixture until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to gradually incorporate the flour mixture into your wet ingredients, blending until a delightful dough forms.
Step 5
With your dough ready, roll it into walnut-sized balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one—this will allow them to spread perfectly while baking.
Step 6
Pop the trays into your preheated oven and let them bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once they’re done, resist the urge to dive in right away! Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack, where they can cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade treats!.
