No Roll Sugar Cookies Recipe
Description
This No Roll Sugar Cookies Recipe uses a combination of unsalted butter and shortening creamed together with sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Egg yolks and vanilla extract are incorporated to enrich the dough, which is then gradually combined with all-purpose flour. The dough is divided into 24 equal pieces and rolled into balls without additional rolling or flattening.
Baked at 300°F for 15 to 17 minutes, the cookies set gently without browning, resulting in a soft texture. Cooling on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack helps maintain their shape and texture.
These cookies suit occasions when a delicate, tender sugar cookie is desired without the extra step of rolling out dough or cutting shapes. They can be decorated post-baking or enjoyed plain.

- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup shortening (not butter flavored)

- Beat in flour a little bit at a time. Divide into 24 even pieces and roll into balls.
