Galletas De Azucar (Sugar Cookies)

These Sugar Cookies have a buttery, sweet flavor, but what makes them stand out is their beautifully crinkled surface, dusted with just the right amount of sugar. As they bake, the dough spreads and cracks, creating a unique texture that’s both soft and slightly crisp.

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups (358g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) white sugar + more for coating
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, add the butter and cream with a spatula until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the sugar: Add one third of the sugar and mix together with the butter. Repeat until sugar is mixed and incorporated. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until just combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture (in thirds) to the butter and mix until incorporated.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out some dough to make a golf sized ball. Roll between your hands and transfer to the sugar bowl. Coat with sugar on all sides.
  6. Place the dough balls on a large plate and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190.5 C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl add extra sugar to coat the cookie dough.
  8. Transfer the cookie dough balls to the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes (depends on your oven), until they are golden but not browned. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
  10. Place the cookies in an airtight container with a small piece of bread. This helps maintain their texture and prevents them from getting too soft or stale. Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Sugar cookies can last about 1 week stored this way.

Notes

  • If you live in a humid place, chill the cookie dough balls again for at least 30 more minutes. This will prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
