Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sugar Cookies.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Once your dough is ready, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours, or overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
Step 4
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to a gentle 275°F (135°C).
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough with a lightly floured rolling pin to your desired thickness.
Step 6
Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes from the rolled dough.
Step 7
Arrange the cut-out cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have enough space to spread.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 15 minutes.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as these cookies transform into a delicious treat!.
