THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

I had these at a friend's little girl's birthday party. I don't normally rave about a cookie. And, it takes a special dessert to get my attention. These cookies were amazing. I like my cookies soft. This fit the bill. Plus, they decorated beautifuly. They reminded me of the look of a Cookie Bouquet cookie with a lot better taste. The icing is Wilton's buttercream icing. A thin layer of this made for an amazing cookie.

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

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.

HEALTHIER (BUT STILL) THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



Healthier (but still) The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

These sugar cookies are amazing but I wanted to try to cut some calories so I replaced some of the sugar with a sugar-like sweetener. They still taste great and now they are pretty guilt free. If you decide to ice them, I would keep it light -- maybe some cute dots!

MY FAVORITE ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



My Favorite Rolled Sugar Cookies image

I found this recipe on a bag of Wal-mart sugar some time ago, and it was so simple, I had to try it. I have tried a zillion sugar cookie recipes, trying to get the soft cookie I like best. I think I have found the perfect sugar cookie. Please note that your cookie yield will vary, depending on what size cookie cutter you used. When I use a variety of sized Christmas cookie cutters, I normally get about 2-1/2 dozen.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate as desired.
  • Bake at 400 degrees 5-9 minutes until edges are very light golden. (In my oven, this takes about 6 minutes.) Be careful not to overbake (if you like soft cookies, as I do.).

Tips:

  • Use a food scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your cookies are the perfect consistency.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll out 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.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or circles.
  • Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Rolled sugar cookies are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make rolled sugar cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
