THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

These are The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies and require no chilling and keep their shape! These roll out sugar cookies are easy, and not too sweet! They won first place in a blind taste and texture test!

Provided by Janelle

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup salted butter, room temperature (real butter only - no substitutes)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
4 1/2 - 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour (Start with 4 1/2 cups. If dough is super sticky, add more 1/4 cup at a time until just a hint of stickyness. This will greatly depend on your altitude and humidity level)
Powdered Sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400*F''
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is.
  • Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and mix again.
  • Add salt, and baking powder. Blend.
  • Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time).
  • Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
  • Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough).
  • When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness.
  • Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan.
  • Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you'll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.
