Soft Sugar Cookies
These cookies are easy to make and bake up nice and soft. I like to roll them in sprinkles for decoration before they’re baked.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 14 tbsp (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- sugar or sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
- Beat the butter and 1 ½ cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-6 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl & beaters as needed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Give the dough a final stir with a rubber spatula to make sure dough is combined. Refrigerate dough for at least an hour.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Using palms, roll 1 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls, then roll in sugar or sprinkles. Place balls on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies, until the edges are set and just beginning to brown but the centers are still soft and puffy, 10-12 minutes.
