FLUFFY EGGLESS SUGAR COOKIES (BREATHTAKING DELICACIES)



Fluffy Eggless Sugar Cookies (Breathtaking Delicacies) image

Being a vegetarian, it's always difficult to find recipes, especially for baking, that retain the texture and taste without eggs. I found a recipe for sugar cookies on recipezaar a few months ago, and every time I used it, I would tweak it just a little. Over time, it has developed into this awesome recipe which results in fluffy, light, sugar cookies - emphasis on the fluffy. (No one is a huge fan of flat, hard cookies,after all.) Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/8 cup sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and mix until it gets lighter and fluffier. (Either microwave the butter for about 45 seconds or make sure it's soft enough to whisk).
  • Add vanilla and milk to butter/sugar mixture. (You can be flexible with the amount of vanilla you use).
  • Combine salt, flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients, using either a spatula or your hands. (Dough should be a little bit sticky at this point).
  • Add extra flour as needed until dough becomes less sticky (I used about 3 T.) You don't want dough to be too tough or sticky.
  • Form 12 equal-sized balls, flatten to about 1/2 - 2/3 inch in thickness. Coat one side with sugar. (Lay about 1/8 Cup sugar on flat surface and lay each flattened ball of dough on it, pressing gently).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottom is lightly golden.

BEST EVER FLUFFY SUGAR COOKIES



Best Ever Fluffy Sugar Cookies image

My friend would absolutely kill me if she knew I was putting this online. It took me 3 years to get this from her. They are so moist and almost cake like, I think this has to do with the amount of sugar. I dont even like sugar cookies but these are my second favorite cookie (my first is always the pumpkin chip cookies that my grandmother made).

Categories     Cookies     Egg     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 2-3 dozen medium cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • ** Mix sugar, butter until smooth. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon extract into sugar mixture. Then stir in dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour). Roll out on floured surface area. Cut out cookies (1/4 inch thick). Then you bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. For the frosting it is just confectioner sugar (about 2 cups), milk (1/8 cup) and teaspoon of vanilla. I just kind of eyeball it so it's the consistency of syrup. (Keep adding more confectioner sugar or milk depending on consistency).

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter at room temperature for best results.
  • Chill the dough for at least 1 hour before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are all the same size. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Fluffy sugar cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make fluffy sugar cookies that are sure to be a hit. So next time you are in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
