CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES



Chewy Sugar Cookies image

I love sugar cookies that are crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside. Do not try to roll these cookies out, they are meant to be shaped or dropped. This recipe can easily be made into snickerdoodle cookies by rolling the dough in cinnamon-sugar before baking.

CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES



Chewy Sugar Cookies image

This version of the sugar cookie has a slightly crispy edge and a super chewy center--thanks to increasing the sugar and baking at a higher temperature. Roll the cookies in colored sugar instead of granulated for a sparkly upgrade.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for rolling
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat on medium-low speed until incorporated.
  • Put some sugar in a small bowl. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter, roll them into balls and coat in the sugar. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (There will be additional batter for a second batch.)
  • Bake until the bottoms and edges are barely golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • To achieve chewy drop sugar cookies, it's crucial to cream the butter and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a soft and chewy texture.
  • For optimal flavor, use top-notch butter. Opt for unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the cookies and balance the sweetness.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and ensures a thicker, chewier texture.
  • Bake the cookies at the specified temperature and time. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cookies, while underbaking can leave them soft and gooey.

Conclusion:

These chewy drop sugar cookies are a delectable treat that combines the perfect balance of soft and chewy textures with a delightful sweetness. By following the tips and instructions provided in this recipe, you can effortlessly create these delightful cookies that are sure to satisfy your cravings and impress your loved ones. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is a must-try for anyone who enjoys homemade cookies.
