THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

I had these at a friend's little girl's birthday party. I don't normally rave about a cookie. And, it takes a special dessert to get my attention. These cookies were amazing. I like my cookies soft. This fit the bill. Plus, they decorated beautifuly. They reminded me of the look of a Cookie Bouquet cookie with a lot better taste. The icing is Wilton's buttercream icing. A thin layer of this made for an amazing cookie.

SOFT ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



Soft Rolled Sugar Cookies image

Tender and delicious, these are the sugar cookies I've been making for twenty-something years! The dough must be chilled thoroughly, so I usually just mix it up the night before I want to do my baking. Recipe #156400 is great on these!

Time 43m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup sugar, plus more (about 1/3 cup) for rolling
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
2 large eggs, beaten

SOFT ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



Soft Rolled Sugar Cookies image

This recipe has been in our family for as long as I can remember. I got it from my sister years ago, and started making them when my girls started Pre School.I was always the room mom in all their classes, and would make these for every holiday, from hearts to snowmen to jack-o-lanterns!! Both of my girls are now grown amd...

Provided by Debbie Reyes

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c granulated sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c milk, 2%
5 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter with sugar, until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time until blended. Add vanilla and milk, mix well, and set aside.
  • 2. Combine flour,salt, soda, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add dry mixture a little at a time to cream mixture. Mix until all flour is mixed in, do not over mix.
  • 3. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. I make my dough up a day or two in advance, and put it in a large ziplock baggie. It will roll out better if it is very chilled.
  • 4. Using about half of the chilled cookie dough, roll out on well floured smooth flat surface, to about 1/8 inch thickness. Dont roll too thin. Using your favorite cookie cutters dipped in flour, cut out your shapes. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes, or when edges start getting lightly browned. Cool completely. These cookies are very soft and cake like, use care when storing them in adavance of decorating . They can be frozen or refrigerated in a sealed tight container up to a couple days in advance of decorating.
  • 5. I use a buttercream frosting that is made with Meringue Powder (found on the Wilton Website). That way your frosting with be soft and creamy but will get a crust on it, when set to dry awhile, so you can stack them easy without the frosting gettng all messed up. These are sooooo yummy..they melt in your mouth!!

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use a light touch: When rolling out the dough, use a light touch to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough can make the cookies tough.
  • Cut the cookies evenly: Use a sharp cookie cutter to cut the dough evenly. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

These soft rolled sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of cookies that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give these cookies a try! You won't be disappointed.
