Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

• 2 cups white sugar

• 1 ½ cups butter, softened

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 5 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Gather all ingredients

• Beat sugar and softened butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

• Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.

... Read moreHomemade sugar cookies are a delightful treat perfect for any festive occasion. Not only are they delicious, but they can also be easily customized to suit your preferences with various flavors and decorations. Tips for perfecting your cookies include using room temperature butter for a creamier dough and allowing the dough to chill before rolling it out. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, ensuring they come out thick and chewy. Consider adding sprinkles or frosting for a colorful touch, making them ideal for celebrations like birthdays or holidays. Additionally, sugar cookies can be a fun activity with children, allowing them to express their creativity through cookie decorating. You can host a cookie decorating party, providing various toppings and icing that let everyone personalize their own batch. Storing these cookies in an airtight container ensures they stay fresh for days, allowing your family and friends to enjoy them long after baking. Don't forget to explore other flavor variations as well, such as almond or lemon, for a twist on the classic sugar cookie. Whether enjoyed plain or dressed up, homemade sugar cookies bring joy to any gathering!
