Time 1h

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream

BIG SOFT SUGAR COOKIES

Great cookies for a cold winter night. I only make these on special occasions. I got this out of an old Working Mother's magazine.

Provided by Color Guard Mom

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease large cookie sheets.
  • In medium bowl, mix first 4 ingredients until well combined; set aside.
  • In large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream, eggs and vanilla.
  • Beat in half the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in remaining flour mixture with a spoon (dough will be very soft). Spoon dough by heaping tablespoons on prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart, making about 24 cookies.
  • Butter the base of a flat bottomed glass that about 3 inches wide. Dip bottom of glass into the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Use sugared glass to flatten cookies into 3 inch rounds, coating bottom of glass with sugar each time.
  • Sprinkle cookies with some coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. (Cookies will be very light in color).
  • Immediately remove to racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to cream together properly and will result in a more tender cookie.
  • Chill your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will also prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and will be dry. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not bake through properly and will be doughy.
  • Watch the cookies closely while they are baking. Once the edges of the cookies begin to brown, they are done. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Sugar cookie cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a cake that is soft, chewy, and full of flavor. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just because you have a sweet tooth, sugar cookie cakes are sure to be a hit.
