BETTY CROCKER'S SUGAR COOKIES



Betty Crocker's Sugar Cookies image

I have been making these cookies every year for Christmas since I was in high school!! I roll them really thin so they are crispy, not soft/chewy and only add sprinkles. This recipe is for a double batch, but can easily be divided. **Chilling dough not included in prep time**

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6-7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
colored sprinkles, for decoration

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
  • Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
  • Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
  • Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
  • Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
  • Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs. This will help the cookies spread and bake more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Betty Crocker Drop Sugar Cookies are a classic recipe that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a batch of delicious homemade sugar cookies!
