BETTY CROCKER'S SUGAR COOKIES

I have been making these cookies every year for Christmas since I was in high school!! I roll them really thin so they are crispy, not soft/chewy and only add sprinkles. This recipe is for a double batch, but can easily be divided. **Chilling dough not included in prep time**

Time 1h

Yield 6-7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
colored sprinkles, for decoration

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
  • Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
  • Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
  • Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
  • Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
  • Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.

Categories     Cookies

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1 c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 large egg
2 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar

Steps:

  • 1. Beat powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract and egg in large bowl with mixer on medium speed. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 3. Divide dough in half. Roll each half 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shapes with 2 to 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Space about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
  • 4. Bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.

Tips:

- To achieve perfectly round sugar cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and a lightly floured rolling pin to roll it out. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. - Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan. - Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will dry them out. - Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating. - Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
