Easy Cut Out Sugar Cookies
Report
These Easy Sugar Cookies make the perfect cut out cookies. Baked to a slight outside crunch with a soft inside. So good they don't even need a frosting.

Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (325 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-2 pinches salt*
- ¾ cup butter (softened) (168 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup powdered/icing sugar (60 grams)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
*If you use unsalted butter then add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In the mixing bowl cream the butter and sugars until smooth about 1-2 minutes on medium speed, then add the eggs and vanilla and beat 1 minute, then add the whisked ingredients and mix just to combine.
- Move the mixture to a flat surface and knead a few times to form a dough ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or even overnight.
- Remove from the fridge and roll out the dough* to about a 1/4 inch thick, cut with cookie cutters and decorate with sprinkles. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
- Refrigerate the cookies while the oven is pre-heating. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to become slightly golden let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet.
*It might be best to divide the dough in half, while you are rolling out half, keep the other half refrigerated until ready to roll.
Notes
- For room temperature ingredients, remove from the fridge 30-45 minutes before using.
- You can also form the dough into a 2 logs and refrigerate, then slice rather than cut out with cookie cutters.
