Quick, Easy Sugar Cookies Recipe image

Quick and easy sugar cookies that taste like grandma's homemade holiday cookies but are as simple as slice and bake. This recipe evolved because friends were craving dessert but I only had pantry ingredients and NO baking powder. I used more baking soda as a substitution and they worked like a charm. Two dozen cookies, gone in a flash.

Time 18m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 3/4 cups flour (all purpose is fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup butter (softened in microwave)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg (large)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
sugar (for rolling the dough balls in before baking)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda.
  • In a larger bowl, cream sugar and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine. Hand roll into balls (teaspoon size) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
  • Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes away from the heat before devouring.

These cookies were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as I expected. They were too sweet and the texture was off.
