How to Cook The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies Like A Professional

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these lovely cookies:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (because why not?)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons of sugar for rolling (because we love bling!)

Now that you’ve got your ingredients ready, let’s put on those aprons and get to work!

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set that bowl aside like your aunt during Thanksgiving.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. It should feel like a silky hug for your taste buds.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Seriously, this part smells divine—like a cozy kitchen on a Sunday morning.
  4. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix—remember, we’re making cookies, not a workout program!
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 1 hour. This is where the dough gets its beauty sleep.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper because we’re fancy like that.
  7. Roll the dough out onto a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes of your choosing! Get wild; these cookies can be anything!
  8. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with extra sugar for a sparkle that would make a unicorn jealous.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Keep an eye on them—nobody likes a burned cookie!
  10. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Patience, my friend—it’ll be worth it!

And there you have it! A delightful batch of rolled sugar cookies ready to be devoured, gifted, or hoarded all for yourself—no judgments here. Enjoy the sweet success and happy baking!
