Sugar Cookies with Mix-Ins image

These cookies are also delicious without mix-ins: After chilling and slicing the cookies, brush the tops with a lightly beaten egg white, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped dried cherries
1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well. Mix in vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing after each addition. Add mix-ins, and beat on low speed until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half; roll each into a 1 1/2- to 2-inch-diameter log. Wrap in plastic. Place in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes. (Dough can be stored in freezer up to 3 months; let soften at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.) Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, transferring rounds to baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake until edges begin to turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

These cookies were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as chewy as I hoped.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a lot in the oven.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I was so excited to try these cookies, but they turned out to be a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I love that these cookies can be customized with different mix-ins. I've tried them with chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, and even candy.
