Eggless Sugar Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe uses softened butter combined with cane sugar and unsweetened applesauce to replace eggs, providing moisture and softness. Vanilla and almond extract add flavor depth. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, cornstarch for tenderness, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, producing a balanced rise and texture.
After mixing, the dough is chilled briefly, then portioned into balls rolled in sugar for a subtle crunch. Pressing them slightly keeps them taller for a soft center. Baking at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until edges just begin to brown yields cookies that set fully as they cool on the sheet.
The result is a delicate cookie with a tender crumb and a light sweetness. They can be enjoyed plain or decorated if desired.
