3 Ingredient Sugar Cookie Recipe
Report
These 3 Ingredient Sugar Cookies rely on butter, sugar, and flour to form a simple dough that bakes into tender, lightly sweet cookies. Optional almond extract and sprinkles add subtle flavor and decoration without complicating the straightforward recipe.
Description
The 3 Ingredient Sugar Cookie Recipe combines softened butter and sugar until smooth, then incorporates all-purpose flour and optional almond extract to create a soft dough. The dough is shaped into small balls, flattened with a sugared cup bottom, and optionally topped with sprinkles for a decorative touch.
Baked at a moderate temperature, the cookies develop a golden bottom and a tender texture. Cooling on the baking sheet allows them to set, ensuring they hold their shape when eaten. The simplicity of the recipe makes it accessible with minimal ingredients and effort.
