Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Soft Drop Sugar Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda, creating a light and airy base.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, blend 1 1/2 cups of sugar with softened butter, shortening, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.
Step 4
Introduce an egg to this sweet concoction, beating it in until the texture is smooth and luscious.
Step 5
Gradually combine this sugar mixture with the flour blend, stirring until everything is harmoniously mixed, then gently fold in the milk for that perfect consistency.
Step 6
Scoop generous spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet, then use the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each mound.
Step 7
For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle additional sugar over the tops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 8
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
