I LOVE this sugar cookie cut-out recipe because not only is it yummy and easy to roll out, but it requires NO refrigeration!
This recipe is very easy for little to help with because it doesn’t dry out and get crumbly as you add flour and it cuts so easily! We do a lot of cookie painting and frosting in this house so a simple recipe is a must-have!
You’ve got to give this recipe a try!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoona baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350.
Add butter and sugar to mixing bowl and cream on high until light and fluffy. Add egg and extracts and beat until mixed well.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk together. On low speed, slowly add the dry into the wet until well combined.
If the dough is crumbly, that’s fine. Simply work the rest of the dough together with your hands.
Divide dough into several workable balls.
Form a disc out of one ball at a time and roll onto a floured surface using as much flour as necessary. Cut out with your favorite cookie cutters and, using a thin spatula, place each cut-out onto a parchment covered cookie sheet.
Bake 6-8 minutes but do not let brown. Cookies will continue to bake a few minutes when you pull them out of the oven.
Carefully pull the parchment off the cookie sheet and let the cookies cool. Frost and decorate however you wish!
