Time to Get Baking!
This is a no-fail recipe that will have your friends begging for more—and some might even get on their knees to ask for your secret (which you won’t tell, of course!). Just remember, the only secret ingredient is your love… and maybe a pinch of sass.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (because we can’t forget the carbs!)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (the magic maker of deliciousness)
- 1 egg (or 2 if you’ve got a serious sweet tooth)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (to make your friends feel fancy)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (because we need these cookies to rise to the occasion!)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (what’s baking without a little flavor, right?)
Instructions
Alright, let’s make these sugar cookies happen. Pay attention, or you might just end up with a cookie catastrophe!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C, but let’s not get technical).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Seriously, it should look like the clouds on a bright sunny day!
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix it like you mean it! Channel your inner chef.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet mixture. It’s a party, but don’t overmix; we’re not trying to break up the happy family here.
- Now for the fun part: scoop out the dough and roll it into little balls. Space them on a baking sheet because they’ll want their personal bubble while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them—no one likes a burnt cookie! We want golden edges, not a charcoal offering.
- Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before devouring them. Enjoy your sweet success!
Now, go on and share these cookies with your friends or just keep them all to yourself! Don’t worry, we won’t tell. Happy baking!
