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.

THE BEST SOFT AND CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES YOU WILL EVER MAKE!!



The Best Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies You Will Ever Make!! image

I make this sugar cookie recipe every Christmas with my family. My mom is a teacher, and she had a baker's daughter many years ago. The baker made these for a class party, and my mom loved them so much that she shared her recipe. The trick is not to overcook them. I always use almond extract because I think it gives a better flavor. I have also made them with royal icing, and they tasted equally delicious. It is all your personal preference. This recipe does make a lot of cookies, depending on how big you cut them, but they always go really fast. This recipe makes a soft, tender dough. The dough initially is sticky, so add flour as you roll them out- but remember, the more flour you add and the more you mix them, the tougher the dough. Enjoy them!

  • FROSTING- See ingredients below.

Tips:

  • For the chewiest cookies, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them.
