KAREN'S SUGAR COOKIES image

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup superfine sugar, or granulated sugar, processed in blender or food processor for 30 seconds
½ tsp. Salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
½ tsp. Almond extract or emulsion, optional
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.

Steps:

  • Cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with mixer set at medium speed (see Dough Preparation and Baking tutorial for more information on creaming times). Add yolk, beat well. Add whole egg, vanilla and optional almond extract and beat until well-incorporated. Add flour; beat at low speed just until flour is mixed in; do not overmix. Divide dough in halves or thirds and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least one hour and up to 2 days. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dust work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough to 1/4" thick, sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes and place on parchment or silicone-lined pans. Bake in preheated oven until cookies appear dry on the surface and are light golden brown on the edges, about 10 minutes (very large cookies may take up to 12 or 13 minutes). Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks and cool completely before decorating.

These cookies are the best sugar cookies I've ever had! They're so soft and chewy, and the frosting is the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again and again.

Not a fan. The cookies were too sweet for my taste and the texture was a bit gritty.

I've been making these cookies for years and they're always a hit. The dough is so easy to work with and the cookies come out perfect every time. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them.

These cookies were a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out flat and flavorless. I won't be making them again.
