Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe

[Oniokitty]

Hey everyone! I thought I’d share a recipe that’s been a hit in my household – soft sugar cookies! These are perfect if you’re in the mood for something sweet, and they turn out soft and chewy every time. Super easy too! Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp almond extract (optional but it adds a nice flavor)
• 3 tbsp milk
• Extra sugar for rolling the dough (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, until everything is combined.
6. Roll dough into small balls (about 1.5 inches), then roll them in sugar if you want that extra crunch.
7. Place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and slightly flatten each ball.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Don’t overbake – you want them soft!
9. Let them cool on the sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack.
   

Enjoy! You can frost them if you like, but they’re so good just as they are.
