THE BEST OLD FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies image

This is a recipe for sugar cookies like they used to be! This recipe produces light fluffy cookies, that are slightly crisp on top & soft & tender in the centre. You can play around with the cooking times to get the texture you like. Eat them plain, with the frosting, the glaze or other icing. These cookies ae easy to make, just make balls & roll in sugar - no need for cutters! They also freeze well & the kids LOVE them! Our favourite way to make them is by rolling them in coloured sugar & cooking them on a foil lined tray for 8 minutes. If we decide to frost / ice them, we always skip the sugar rolling stage. If Time to make doesn't include chill time.

Time 30m

Yield 40 cookies approx.

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (I like just 1 cup so they are not O.T.T sweet!)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla powder (or pure vanilla extract)
2 3/4 cups flour
1/4-1/3 cup sugar
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
3 -4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
food coloring (optional)
candy sprinkles (optional)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 -7 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder (or pure vanilla extract)
4 teaspoons light corn syrup
assorted food coloring

Steps:

  • Cookies:.
  • Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Beat until well mixed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Cover & refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar. Place balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes depending on how you like them. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
  • Frosting:.
  • Beat the butter, add sifted sugar & mix well. Add the vanilla, enough milk to reach the consistency you want & the tint to desired colour.
  • Spread the frosting over the cookies using a pallet knife. Allow to sit for a few minutes then add sprinkles. Don't use the sprinkles right after frosting or they will absorb moisture & leach their colour!
  • Glaze:.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar, milk and extract in small bowl until smooth. Stir in corn syrup until glaze is smooth and glossy. (If glaze is too thick, stir in small amount of additional corn syrup.)
  • Stir in 3 to 4 drops food color until evenly distributed and glaze is smooth. Add additional drops of food color until glaze is of desired color.
  • To glaze cookies, place cooling rack on foil-lined baking sheet. Holding a cookie by its edge, dip the top of cookie into glaze. (Or spoon the glaze onto cookies using a teaspoon. Cookies can also be glazed using a new small paintbrush.) Place glazed cookies on cooling rack to dry. (The foil-covered baking sheet will catch any drips.)
  • Use contrasting glaze colors to decorate glazed cookies, if desired. Place small amount of contrasting glaze in small resealable plastic bag. Snip off tiny piece of the corner of the plastic bag. Create design by squeezing contrasting glaze onto cookies. Allow glazed cookies to dry thoroughly before stacking.
  • If you would like more than one color of glaze, divide untinted glaze among separate small bowls. Tint each one a different color by stirring in 1 to 2 drops food color until evenly distributed and glaze is smooth. Add additional drops food color until glaze is of desired color. (.
  • If cookie is decorated with contrasting glaze before glazed cookie is allowed to dry, glaze colors will blend slightly, creating a softer, more muted design).
  • Allow glaze to dry before storing cookies in airtight containers.
  • Note: Use glaze soon after preparing. Do not refrigerate glaze, as it will begin to harden.

OLD FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 4h40m

Yield 3 dozen cookies, depending on the size of the cutters

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Colored sugar and milk, for decorating, or Royal Icing, recipe follows
2 pounds confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons meringue powder (egg white powder)
Food coloring, as desired

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a second large bowl and mix well. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture 1 cup at a time. Chill the dough for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Roll out the dough and cut it into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Place the shapes on the prepared cookie sheet. If decorating with colored sugar, brush the cookies with milk and sprinkle with colored sugar (if using royal icing, leave unfinished). Bake until the cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.
  • Remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely. If using royal icing, decorate the cookies as desired.
  • Combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. Mix slowly with an electric mixer until stiff enough to form peaks; the icing should be pure white and thick, but not fluffy and bubbly. If the frosting is over-beaten, it will get aerated which makes it harder to work with. If this happens, let the frosting sit to settle, and then use a rubber spatula to vigorously beat and smooth out the frosting.
  • Add up to 1 tablespoon food coloring and mix with a rubber spatula until the color is uniform. Gels are best with royal icing. You don't want to thin them with liquid colors. Be careful of adding too much color, which reduces the sheen of the frosting and can break down the consistency of the frosting over a couple of days. Store the icing at room temperature, covered, with plastic wrap on the surface.
  • Yield: 3 1/2 cups icing

CLASSIC OLD-FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES



Classic Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies image

Handed down from my great-grandmother Ferdig, this classic sugar cookie recipe is rich in flavor and can be cut thick for softer cookies or rolled paper-thin for crispy cookies. They freeze very well and I've never found a recipe I like better ... but then I am a little biased. Prep time does not include time to chill cookie dough.

Provided by Park Rangerette

Categories     Dessert

Time 18m

Yield 2 dozen, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine baking soda, cream of tartar and flour mixing well. With your hands, knead in softened butter.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs and mix well with sugar and vanilla.
  • Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and again using your hands, mix this really well.
  • Chill dough. It will be quite hard when it is completely chilled. Using a table knife, cut off chunks to roll out on a well-flour surface to desired thickness - thin cookies will get crispy when baked, thicker cookies will puff and stay soft. Cut into desired shapes.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven until the edges begin to brown; be careful not to overcook if you want them to stay soft after cooling!
  • After completely cooled, decorate the cookies. These will freeze really well!

OLD FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES



Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies image

A favorite with my family! These aren't overly sweet sugar cookies, so they are perfect for frosting. This recipe was originally taken from clabbergirl.com. (Check out the Clabber Girl website - lots of great recipes!)

Provided by AnnieLynne

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 36-48 cookies, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons clabber girl baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons cream or 3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in butter until fine.
  • Add egg, cream (or evaporated milk), and vanilla.
  • Roll out dough evenly on to a lightly floured surface. (I separate my dough into 3 pieces and roll each piece to 1/4 inch thickness.).
  • Sprinkle with sugar. (I usually skip this step if I plan to frost the cookies).
  • Cut out with cookie cutters and place on an ungreased baking sheet. (The cookies do not really spread much, so about an inch apart is fine.).
  • Bake at 400F for 5 - 8 minutes or until edges just start to brown. (In my oven 6 minutes is perfect - the cookie is firm, but not over-cooked and the bottoms are just-browned.).
  • Remove to cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before mixing. This will help the cookies spread evenly and will also make them more tender.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and will also prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be tough. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be crispy.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. This will help the cookies stay fresh.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these sugar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
