This is my favorite go to recipe for all the fancy decorated cookies I make.
And sugar cookies in general.
———-
No Fail Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 6 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups white, granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or desired flavoring (almond perhaps?)
- 1 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. mix dry ingredients and add a little at a time to butter mixture. Mix until flour is incorporated and the dough comes together.
- Chill for 1 to 2 hours.
- Roll to desired thickness {spacers help A LOT} and cut into desired shapes. Bake on a Sil-Pat lined baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown around the edges.
I have the same recipe and it is the only one I will use. I tried so many and was about to give up until I saw this recipe on Cake Central. I actually just made some cookies yesterday and froze them. I will decorate them in a couple days.
